Floral: Plastic, 2021

In this intimate photo series, we explore the delicate yet powerful symbolism of plastic flowers—objects that, though artificial, evoke deep emotions and resonate with timeless themes of beauty, resilience, and the human desire to preserve fleeting moments. 

Each image captures the intricate details of plastic flowers—bright, smooth petals frozen in time, colors that never fade, and leaves that seem to shimmer in an eternal dance with light. While these flowers are synthetic, they mirror the fragility and preciousness of real life. The soft textures, vibrant hues, and carefully arranged compositions remind us of nature’s ephemeral beauty and the longing to hold onto moments that would otherwise slip away. 

Through these images, we explore how plastic flowers become a metaphor for resilience. They endure, unbothered by the passage of time, standing in stark contrast to the fleeting nature of real blooms. Yet, in their persistence, they carry a quiet elegance—an enduring beauty that doesn’t decay. These flowers may not wilt, but their perfection calls attention to the transience of the world around them, serving as a gentle reminder that all things, even beauty, are impermanent. 

 In a world where so much is temporary, plastic flowers speak to our desire for preservation—to freeze time, to hold onto memories, and to keep a piece of something beautiful forever. Each photograph is a tribute to our shared human instinct to safeguard the precious moments that define our lives. 

This series is an exploration of memory, loss, and the quiet power of artificial blooms that, despite their inauthenticity, capture the essence of life’s fleeting beauty and our innate yearning to preserve it.
