Fractured Flora: Cymbidiums - Limited Edition 2 of 10 Photograph

This image is part of my second series of Fractured Flora images. I use liquid nitrogen to cryo freeze the and then shatter each floral specimen. In this series I aimed to explore the two sides of my process which is essentially part art, part science. The images themselves focus on the science, exploring the shapes of the broken edges and the vapour that swirls around the flowers. I edited this series with a nod to Dutch Vanitas still life, the images are moody with the flowers emerging from dark backgrounds.
