Flowers have long been a constant subject for painters and photographers. Our sustained attention to them is not only a response to their intricate structures, but to the histories and memories they quietly carry. For me, they function as sites of association - personal, emotional, and temporal. In this series, colour is intentionally introduced as an expressive device. It is not descriptive, but emotive: a means of suggesting mood and the shifting nature of memory itself. These images are not attempts at botanical accuracy, but acts of
interpretation. There is, in my view, no correct way to photograph flowers - only ways of seeing, feeling, and remembering.
