FLORESCENCE

(2007)

Installation view of Fluorescence

The flower—long a symbol of beauty, romance and fertility, present at most human rituals— reveals something stranger when taken apart and reassembled. This series reimagines botanical form through constructions made from scanned flowers, combined with both natural and synthetic materials. The resulting compositions suggest speculative species—part natural, part invented—hovering in states of emergence. Rooted in floral anatomy, the work explores the flower as a site of reproduction, mutation, and coded desire. Florescence marked a shift from photographing the human body to collaborating with plant-based structures, treating them as sites of invention, shaped by adaptation, pressure, and human intervention. What appears to bloom may also unsettle, inviting a reconsideration of beauty’s role in nature’s complex and hybrid futures.
