Lumenprints - Wet cyanotypes - Cyanolumems – Polaroids

This series is a collection of images of found leaves and flowers brought by Mother Nature in my daily walks. The decay of these leaves and flowers is inevitable.
While photography is concerned with permanence, which doesn’t exist to the same degree within other art forms, these images speak about ephemeral photography processes that are notoriously difficult to fix. The images speak of vulnerability and mutability because they gradually continue chemically changing as time passes by.
Is it necessary to stabilize our images to perceive reality differently?
These repeated interpretations contain a sense of intimacy with Mother Nature. Each leaf and flower has a unique form; they are not a documentary aspect of nature but a dialogue between chemistry and light.
