Abstract Healing
Abstract healing is an on-going photography project of flowers which I have grown in my garden in self quarantine during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Is the idea that art and creativity is a form of therapy and mediation. It is this form of healing I am taking to creative something I would have not have normally approached in my normal everyday life as a photographer.
Everyday is the same in self isolation but not for my garden as it continues to change and it is the moment of its fullness in the midst of spring where I want to capture its abstract beauty. It is the creative process of seeing it the way I see it which is helping me through this time and to release stress and worry.
Busy life has stopped and as difficult as it is throughout the world during this pandemic I want to inspire others to create for their mental well being. The flower series is hope for those that create can reduce feelings of anxiety, pain or depression. It is less about the result and more about the process of getting there.
The beauty of art therapy: More than ever I appreciate the raw natural beauty and my love for my garden, it is my journey of self-discovery and I feel less stressed. Enhance your confidence in self-discovery too.
Rachell
After graduating from The London College of Communication, Rachell went on to assist some of the world’s biggest photographers before setting up her own studio in London.
Rachell’s modern take on beauty and portraiture has been featured in a large number of leading publications around the world, including Glamour Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Allure and Vogue.it.
Rachell is inspired by personalities, emotion and style and people often describe her work as soft and beautiful.
More recently Rachell has an on going personal still life project of flowers that she grew in her garden, this is while in self quarantine throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.
