During Covid, Schlegel developed an interest for flowers with the wish to magnify their ephemeral beauty, like a memento mori. Here, he chose the Tragopogon pratensis, commonly unnoticed along gravel roads, and also nicknamed "Jack Go to Bed at Noon" because it blooms in the early morning sun but shies away after midday. Its impressive seedhead is often blown onto in the hope to see one's wishes come true. Using a very thin transparent paper, he extended the life of the fragile flower for thousands of years by using the most archival printing technique: platinum, to which he added white gold to highlight the value of transience.

Durant la pandémie, Schlegel a développé un intérêt envers les fleurs, avec pour but de magnifier leur beauté éphémère, tel un memento mori. Ici, il choisit le Tragopogon Pratensis, souvent inaperçu le long des routes, et aussi surnommé "Jack se couche à midi" par les anglophones car il éclot aux premières lueurs de l'aurore mais se referme après midi. De même, son impressionnante tête de semence est souvent soufflée dans l'espoir de voir un vœu s'exaucer. Sur un papier transparent de 15gsm, Schlegel prolonge la fraîcheur de cette fragile plante pour des milliers d'années en utilisant la technique du tirage au platine, considérée comme la plus pérenne de toutes, et à laquelle il ajoute de l'or blanc afin de souligner la valeur de cette vie si transitoire.
