Some paths lead through terrains of experience and thought. This ongoing project is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its sweeping effects on all of our lives. Flowers are the subject - vessels of emotion as well as placemarkers for life events, both celebratory and sorrowful. These images, experiments in light and darkness are memento mori of our grief and our survival. Flowers in various stages of life and decay, evoke the effusiveness, the poignance and temporality of life.
