The passing of time and the transient nature of life raises a number of questions about how we view<br />

our existence.<br />

A life can be lengthy or fleeting, but it is the transitory character of various living specimens such as flowers<br />

that I draw inspiration from for my work. My practice explores the flower as a representation of passing<br />

beauty. I have sought to explore a formal aesthetic of the flower and at the same time account for the change<br />

and transformation it goes through within its life cycle.<br />

I aim to expose the altered states of the flower once the vivaciousness of its life has st<strong>art</strong>ed to diminish. This<br />

fast paced change reflects a wider impermanence of life. I aim to capture the transformation but also to freeze<br />

it through its various stages, and to fix it through X-ray so it can’t change any further.<br />
