“Withered plant”
This is a collection of images taken with a Scanning Electron Microscope that depict the cycle of life in nature.
There lies an even deeper natural world in each and every small plant that we see every day in nature. These plants repeat the cycle of birth and death in perpetuity. Though unseen by the naked eye, this cycle is host to a range of expressions, rich activity, and a sense of motion. The Scanning Electron Microscope used to produce the images has a higher resolution than traditional optical microscopes, showing the structure of plants in extremely fine detail.
In the near future, these works will be exhibited outdoors, on the faces of buildings. By exhibiting images of the flora growing near those installation sites and turning that subject matter into large murals, I hope to bring the everyday, yet majestic, natural world into the forefront and invite viewers to see how plants are another living being with which we coexist.
