Description

Where Water Remembers: Suspended in a haze of cloudy liquid, a radiant flower clings to its brilliance. This work explores memory and buoyancy through submerged macro fragments, where light refracts across petal edges and dissolves into layered translucence. The composition evokes a quiet struggle against erasure—nature’s vivid imprint resisting the pull of obscurity, yearning to rise once more into the sun’s embrace.

Print: Museum Quality Print; Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Matt, 308gsm. Dark Walnut Frame Made from FSC®-certified timber.

Artist Statement

My work begins with a camera, but then I discover and recreate a whole new imaginary world. I am a photographic artist, not to be confused with an art-photographer. The journey starts where I visualise and photograph intricate images that are technically challenging. My current series explores close up details of decaying Sunflowers. A process that is constantly changing – wilting, new forms, shadows, textures – its fleeting. From a start I build panoramic composites from multiple focus-stacked exposures. Then reformed to build a giant flower. These images are not just photographs—they are engineered visions, layered with precision and intention. Each piece evolves through a fusion of mediums. I integrate my own artworks—collages, oil paintings, and other tactile expressions—into the photographic base.
