Memento floris

Memento floris is my attempt to explore the delicate balance between life and death, a journey that winds through time and the evolution of beauty in its most vulnerable form.

The calla lilies, with their ephemeral grace, transform into geometric figures, evoking the purity and simplicity of Japanese origami. As paper folds and transforms, so too do the flowers, in their aging, reveal their primitive and poetic form.

Black and white, in this work, is not only an aesthetic choice, but a means of enhancing the forms, reducing the subject to its essence.

This choice invites the viewer to contemplate the lines, shadows, and textures, allowing the beauty of the withered calla lilies to shine through in a new way.

The monochromatic hues highlight the dialogue between light and darkness, between the present and the inevitable decline, thus revealing the truth of transience.

I want these photographs to be an invitation to reflect on our relationship with nature and the beauty that lies in aging.

Each flower represents a story, a life cycle that embraces change. Thus, in memento floris, the calla lilies are not just flowers; they are a symbol of our own existence, a reminder that beauty can be found even in the most fragile moments and the most unexpected forms.
