DETAILS:

This image is from the ongoing series called ‘Disappearing Landscapes.’ Exploring light and color, I create painted backgrounds and then photograph the living flower before it begins to decompose. After being photographed, the painted scene is washed away, and thus no longer exists except in the form of a  photograph. This is an exploration of how color is a reflection of nature’s palette. Photographed outdoors the wind plays a part in this image, adding movement. The disappearance of plant species drives an aspiration for my art to serve as a valuable documentation. The idea of a ‘Disappearing Landscape’ is an analogy for nature as a self-generating, continuously changing and interacting arrangement of elements.
