Zephyranthes candida (White Rain Lily)

This illustration belongs to the Flora of Resilience series and intertwines a verse from a song that became an anthem for the Brazilian people during times of dictatorship with the gentleness of white rain lilies — a metaphor of resilience that has once again become urgent. The white rain lily (Zephyranthes candida), native to Brazil and South America, blooms after long periods of rain and storms, when the sun finally comes out again — embodying renewal, tenderness, and the quiet strength of cycles. By pairing words of courage with the delicate bloom of the rain lily, this piece stands for collective hope, renewal, and the enduring power of people.

Flora of Resilience is Anni’s first series of fine art limited edition prints. Paying tribute to Brazilian culture — while celebrating plants of deep symbolic meaning for the native peoples of South America — each illustration reflects on the connection between humans and plants, touching on themes of resilience, belonging, and hope. Hand-drawn exclusively with black fineliner, the series carries one of the pillars of Anni’s work: the research into botanical subjects through scientific illustration explorations, in dialogue with culturally significant Brazilian flora. The illustrations echo both ancestral knowledge and Anni’s own roots as an artist. Limited to just 5 numbered and signed editions per illustration, this project emphasizes exclusivity and authenticity. The production process was carefully chosen to garanttee its longevity, tactile beauty, and sustainable composition. Each edition is delicately crafted in collaboration with a print master who shares her values of precision, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Every detail, from the printing process to the handcrafted tags made with leftover papers and stenciled ink, reflects Anni’s intention to care for resources and to honor the slow, intentional nature of artistic work. What makes this project unique is not only the technical excellence, but also the heart behind it: a conscious practice rooted in culture, science, and a deep love for nature and memory. Owning one of these prints means holding a piece of that story — an artwork meant to last a lifetime.
