Japanese artist Azuma Makoto has sent his floral sculptures into space and sunk them to the bottom of the ocean, but most of the time, he thinks about the life and death of flowers. Flower Punk is a hypnotizing short documentary that brings you inside his work and process. After watching, you won't be able to think about flowers the same way again.
