entry description
These photos are not just photos of flowers; they are an ode to the organic, elemental life, as well as an ode to the cycle of life - which celebrates birth as well as death. My emphasis is on transience, but also on the beauty of all stages of life.Photographs are from my ongoing project Floating Garden.
