• Owner: Martijn van der Lans
• Title: A Maze of Mirrors
• Arranger: Wendy van den Berg

Ladies and gentlemen, here comes “Doolhof van Spiegels ”: a richly decorated, rotating boat from Syngenta Flowers, competing in the commercial boat category. This is Syngenta Flowers ’ second time participating in the parade—after the success of their first entry, there was so much enthusiasm that the company was eager to join in again.

Look at the tunnels of mirrors: a maze of reflections that distort and alienate your gaze. Illusions arise everywhere— whatis a flower, what is a reflection, what is still real?

This boat features Mandevilla, petunias, lavender, and cyclamen, among other plants—a vibrant palette that seems to multiply endlessly in the mirrored walls.
What do you see? Do you know what you’re seeing?

Especially now, as the world bombards us with turmoil, opinions, and images, this game of mirrors reminds us: look more closely, look beyond the surface, and seek the truth behind the reflection.
