The story behind the works
My grandmother’s flowers
In her garden, I learned to see flowers as living forms with a character of their own.
Where it began
Her quiet companions
My grandmother watched her flowerbed as though every flower had something to say. She noticed a bud opening and a stem turning towards the light. I carry that attention into my studio.
“Grandmother called flowers her quiet companions. That is how I try to photograph them.”Read the story in the Journal
