Birth

I distort the nature of the flower by enhancing its characteristics that conjure images of alternative worlds to ours, and at the same time celebrating the fundamental role that these hidden details have for the continuity of the species. The pollination process that transfers pollen from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of another, carries this substance from the male to the female part of the flower. This is essential for the reproduction of plants and for the survival of many species on earth, including humans. This is absolute magic. It occurs thanks to animals that contribute to the perfect functioning of the reproductive mechanism of plants. I would like to bring to the viewer’s attention what I call the Otherwise Invisible. I use macro lens with extension tubes in order to blur the edges and enhance one single detail. Walking outdoors my curiosity was piqued by observing how each flower actually contains another infinitely oriented one, even though belonging to the same species, each one is different from the other, like human beings.
