Photography

Flowers are more than just beautiful—they are symbols of resilience, femininity, and
strength, deeply entwined with our culture, history, and the health of our planet. For me,
they represent healing and transformation, marking a journey of mourning and
rediscovery through the power of nature.

My photography moves beyond decoration, capturing flowers in their natural
environments to uncover their unfiltered essence. Guided by emotions and anxieties, I
explore the interplay of light, texture, and motion, revealing their uniqueness and
fragility.

Fearing that humanity is losing its connection with nature, I celebrate its overlooked
beauty and intricate microcosms. By embracing nature’s ‘flaws’ and refraining from
arranging or altering my subjects, I allow their imperfections to tell their own story.

Photographed during magic hours, my work uses flash lighting to illuminate
extraordinary details, chasing fleeting light and wind-driven motion. These images aim to
spark reflection and inspire a renewed mindfulness of our environment, reminding us of
its fragility and our shared responsibility to protect it.
