“Flowers for Phoenix” is a personal reflection on cycles of emotional intensity, burnout, and renewal.

The Phoenix in this project is myself – a sensitive, creative individual who moves through moments of exhaustion, doubt, and emotional extremes, only to rise again with renewed strength.

As a woman, I translate this inner combustion through flowers – symbols of femininity and vulnerability. These flowers pass through the fire with me, embodying a moment suspended between destruction and rebirth.

Fire became my primary tool in the creation process. I used it deliberately, like a brush, allowing it to mark, transform, and reveal the final stage before reincarnation.

The works are created using scanography of real flowers and controlled fire exposure.
