Botanica is a collection of portraits of flowers photographed in black and white then subtly coloured to enhance and transform them. This series symbolises a moment of peaceful solitude in a world that is becoming increasingly complex, creating a quiet space away from the chaos of everyday life, like a secret garden the artist is quietly cultivating. The portraits feel ethereal through their fresh new hues, not natural enough to be the mirror of our reality, but animated by a powerful breath of new life.
