Plants are an integral part of our everyday lives. It’s common to see flowers blooming along the streets, and flower shops offer a wide variety of blossoms, almost like art objects. At first glance, these flowers may appear fragile and delicate, but upon closer observation, a different image emerges. Their colors and forms conceal intricate mechanisms designed for their own reproduction and regeneration. This also reflects the result of co-evolution with humans. Through the technology of macro lenses, I have visualized the hidden, yet beautiful and grotesque strategies of these plants.
