Flor Paraíso.

About the work

A couple of years ago, I realized I had a fixation with gardens and, within gardens, flowers. The garden represents childhood, abundance, freedom, and also mystery. Flowers embody beauty, and by existing at this extreme, they can equally represent ugliness. They are vibrant yet dead, open yet hidden. This series is inspired by botanical studies, which, in their own way, encapsulate this duality when representing nature—a duality that I find to be the perfect reflection of this concept.
