Artist Statement: These images of flowers were produced on a scanner at a very high resolution so as to capture detail difficult to see with the naked eye. My floral subjects are obviously in transformation from life to death but also, due to the high resolution of their portraits, what was once invisible has become visible. It is difficult to look at the depicted moments without translation into human terms. We don’t just see a flower on the verge of being thrown in the trash, we see struggle in the face of the inevitable, desperation to make a difference before it is too late, and, perhaps, even dignity and acceptance.
