PLANT CONNECTION

 

Plants inspire me not only for their beauty but also because they have a true presence. This green life so silent and so still infuses serenity. They have become a source of inspiration for my series called "Plant Connection" which reveals the curves and aesthetic shapes of green leaves while at the same time staging them as imaginary lifelines.

The monochrome quality of the plants allows me to reveal the subtleties of their greens as well as the rhythm created by the play between light and shade in their movements.

On a more symbolic level, I see these leaves as trajectories of life which randomly intersect on Life’s whims and plans.
