Flora is a meditation on memory in its most complete and unfragmented form. Using black epoxy as both ground and void, the series preserves flowers whole rather than partial, allowing each stem, bloom, and curve to remain intact. This choice reflects a desire to hold memory fully, not as pieces or impressions, but as a complete presence.
The black epoxy functions as a space of depth and stillness, recalling both night and the subconscious. Against this dark field, the flowers appear suspended in time, illuminated and intentional. The contrast heightens their form and structure, encouraging prolonged looking and a heightened awareness of detail. Memory here is not fleeting or obscured, but deliberate and anchored.
By preserving the flowers in their entirety, Flora resists the erosion of time. The work becomes an act of devotion, honoring moments, people, and emotions that once existed fully and continue to carry weight.
​The compositions guide the viewer’s eye through each preserved form, echoing the way memory can be revisited, traced, and held.
Flora positions preservation as an act of remembrance rather than nostalgia. It asserts that memory does not always fade or fracture. Sometimes it remains whole, vivid, and enduring, demanding to be seen in full.
