The French creative says that this project is “a bit more experimental than what I usually do,” as his work typically features characters with a cartoonish look and feel he's utilized 3D scanning technology to capture a bunch of dried white hydrangeas that were then multiplied and modeled over a female form The result is a new being that's simultaneously familiar and exquisitely fantastical Bihorel imagines his Flower Figures in a couple of poses that include crouching and reclining the character showcases ease-of-movement–the hydrangeas feel like a hand-crafted costume rather than something that lives entirely on a computer These are the dried flowers that inspired Bihorel to create Flower Figures: Want to advertise with us?

It's a creation of digital artist Jean-Michel Bihorel, who posted it to his website under the title "Winter Sleep." Bihorel verified in a Facebook post that this Sleeping Lady exists only in digital form on his computer The Alaska.org website offers a summary of the legend behind the 'sleeping lady' name: Native stories say that the lady was engaged to a man who went off to protect their village before they wed she promised to wait in the exact spot where he bade farewell she fell into a deep sleep waiting for him Word came back to the village that the men were killed the villagers couldn't bear to wake her up However, a 2003 article published in the Anchorage Chronicle asserted that the common backstory behind the mountains's name was of modern origin and did not derive, as often claimed, from native lore: Mount Susitna, known as "Sleeping Lady," has long been a jewel in Anchorage's panoramic crown of mountains across Cook Inlet. The historical tale describes the mountain as resembling the profile of a woman asleep, long hair stretched out behind her. Everyone knows the story comes from Alaska Native lore, right? Wrong, according to Nancy Lesh, a University of Alaska Anchorage librarian. Lesh wrote a story about Sleeping Lady in the early 1960s as a senior in high school, and published it in Alaska Northern Lights magazine. "I think I made the story up, although I can't definitely say for sure," she said. Ann Dixon, who published the children's picture book "The Sleeping Lady" in 1964, agreed that the story is not a Native legend. Instead, Dixon said, the tale probably originated with prospectors or homesteaders sometime between 1930 and 1950. In Dixon's version, the giant woman fell asleep waiting for her beloved to return from battle, unaware that he had been killed. Homer News.   "Alaska Myths Are Rural Legend."     22 May 2003.
