“Street Flowers 4” explores the ephemeral and ever-changing nature of being. Taken at a flower stand on the Upper West Side, the image was transformed through shifts in color, light, and layered composition. The result evokes the protean beauty of the flowers - and, by extension, the transient, recurring beauty of all things.
Sam Rittenberg lives and works in New York City and the Dominican Republic. His primary interest is in a photograph's power to convey the infinite and paradoxical nature of being. He is guided by the idea that every picture has the potential to be a portal to that which is ordinarily beyond us.
