Pansy Mix
Viola wittrockiana
Although the word pansy has its origins in the French pensee, meaning "thought," the word became a slur directed toward gay, effeminate, or gender-nonconforming men. Artist Paul Harfleet's Pansy Project, which ceremoniously sets pansies into the earth at spots where homophobic abuse has occurred, reckons with both senses of the word. Hardy plants that can bloom through the snow, pansies intrinsically embody the resilience and fortitude at the core of the LGBTQIA+ community.

About the artist
Artwork by Paul Harfleet. In this digital illustration, the pansy takes its rightful place among many symbols representing the strength of the LGBTQIA+ community: a pride flag, a trans pride flag, a pink triangle, and a red ribbon.
