Series of works "Breath of Shadow" began with a desire to look beyond the familiar image of a flower. I am not interested in flowers as symbols of beauty or decoration. What draws me is their form—the way light, shadow, and structure can transform something recognizable into something almost abstract. I approach each flower as a portrait. Rather than seeking perfection, I look for character, vulnerability, and the traces of time. Each image explores the delicate balance between presence and disappearance, inviting the viewer to look beyond the object itself.
