The Enlightenment of Plant Photograph

The Enlightenment of Plant approaches life from a spiritual perspective and is in search of the source & essence of being. Its primary focus is the soul, consciousness and inner beauty of a plant, its divinity, essence and wisdom. Everything in nature and life can be seen as a mirror to our inner world. The outside as a reflection of the inside and vice versa. The natural world guides us and as such, plants in all their shapes and sizes might act as teachers for our own lives. As Jesus said “we should contemplate the flowers in order to learn from them how to live.” A Flower is the final state of a plant, the moment of release before the seeds will manifest new life, showing us a leap into an entirely different level of being and a lessening in materiality. They act not only as a portal for new life but also as a window into the formless, where beauty as a universal quality & essence originates. Flowers in general show us what a life’s journey is about at its most fundamental core (growth, patience, beauty/ love). That we might consider shifting our focus from the outside to the inside, where our energy, soul and being are seated. To get to know ourselves and our true nature beyond our ever-thinking mind. As Eckhart Tolle (spiritual teacher) says: “The Flower isn’t aware of its own beauty. Through you it gets a sense of self recognition. And through the Flower you can recognize yourself in another being, through a different degree of consciousness.” Flowers slowly emerge with calmness and serenity. Most of them close themselves at night to turn towards their inner world. Once the sunlight returns in the morning they open up again and shine. Further Tolle teaches: “Explain to a child not “this is a rose” but “this is called a rose”. Get not lost in concepts & misinterpretations. The name of the flower is not the flower.” According to this, Gromoll has chosen to not name the ‘flowers’ in this body of work.
