Nature’s cycles of decay and renewal have long fascinated me, and in this series, I explore the transient beauty of a single Paphiopedilum orchid as it moves through the final stages of its bloom. Each piece captures a moment of transformation—whether through direct botanical prints, drawings, or paintings—offering a meditation on impermanence, resilience, and the quiet persistence of life. Using a direct printing technique, I preserve the intricate details of each petal and stem at the very end of their life, giving these delicate forms a presence beyond their natural span. The plant itself, however, continues to thrive, reinforcing the theme of renewal. Alongside these prints, my sketches and paintings further interpret the orchid’s essence, layering observation with personal expression. This series is a slow, contemplative process, yielding no more than two unique prints per year. Through this intimate engagement with a single plant, I invite the viewer to reflect on the cycles that shape both nature and our own lives—the fleeting, the enduring, and the beauty in both.
