This collection of photographs range from the actual day of the battle to the revealing of the floats. All eight of my grandfather’s children participated in the event, because not only was it a community event but also a family one. Lots of families use to get involved with the battle creating their very own little creative floats.

These are a selection of photographs I have from my family’s albums of the Battle of Flowers. As previously said in another post, my mother’s family regularly took  part in the annual event, making smaller floats in their gardens. I thought it would be interesting to include photographs like these in my picture-story because it can represent a time in the battle’s history but also my family’s too. I think it’s really special having my family members in the photographs because they symbolise hundreds of memories and share a part of the art with reality.
