Deadheading

The series Deadheading documents the fragile and transient beauty of decay by recording one phase in the cycle of growth, prime, death and rebirth. What we may perceive as dead, untidy, undesirable and imperfect is, in fact, nature’s magnificence. (We find all these principles also in the concept of wabi-sabi.) Perfection as we understand it is an entirely artificial (i.e. human-made and therefore un-natural) concept. The series consists of currently thirteen colour photographs. It was created in July and September to October 2020 in my studio using plants from my own garden.
