Flowers, in their grace and elegance, have long been instruments for expressing human emotions. Their colours, shapes, and scents symbolise gestures and feelings, reflecting a state of mind. This collection reinvents that expression through digital artistry. By applying techniques akin to traditional photo development, such as pushing and pulling pixels, the flowers are digitally collaged, deconstructed, and reassembled. This process reveals a hidden complexity and beauty, encapsulating an aura beyond visual perception. Naturally, our vision only allows us to perceive a fraction of what’s around us.

In this collection, I invite the viewer to employ their imagination to explore the living energy and aura that goes beyond mere visual representation. Unlike the fleeting nature of real flowers, these flowers are stamped into a digital form that preserves and immortalises the delicate exchange between nature and emotion. The result is a series of distorted floral avatars.
