Organic Abstraction
ARTIST STATEMENT
Organic Abstraction examines the hidden beauty in the stages of the cycle of life through a macro lens, revealing the complex world of decay, a process often overlooked or deemed unappealing.
While the images are rooted in familiar objects, a wilting cabbage leaf or a shrivelled mushroom, I am not interested in capturing them in their perceived state of ripeness. Rather, I focus on their processes of change as surfaces transform into new textures and colours. As such, by highlighting the microbial and fungal growths that sculpt these new forms, I present the process of decay not as an end in itself, but as a period of profound and unexpected creation.
Organic Abstraction is an invitation to discover beauty in organic evolution and to appreciate the artistry of nature's ultimate expression. The photographs function as a bridge between the identifiable and the abstract, inviting the viewer to see the familiar in an unfamiliar way.
