Flowers for Phoenix

2023-2024

In this case, by Phoenix I mean myself, who, as an emotional and creative person, tends to burn out, experience emotions, ups and downs of inspiration, experience them and with new strength recover from the ashes of doubts and move on.

Since I am a woman, I show the process of this combustion on flowers that are associations of femininity, on flowers that fall into my hands and go through this fire with me, demonstrating the final stage before reincarnation.

Therefore, it is no coincidence that during the shooting process my tool was fire, which I moved like a brush over these flowers.
