Statement
The Visitant Series:
Embarking on a journey of intricate exploration, I reveal the inherent imbalance and delicate decomposition of nature's reproductive agents. Capturing their extravagant shape-shifting and fragmentation in my photography, I portray both abstract and dimensional representations. These images pay homage to the dual nature of fragility and fortitude inherent in botanical forms. My studies encapsulate the captivating beauty of these subjects, preserving their hesitant decline while accentuating their structural complexity, precision, and grace before succumbing to inevitable disintegration.
