Flowers as self-portraits of feelings
"Flowers as self-portraits of feelings" is the ongoing project that consists of the flower series, in which I explore the nature of my painful and ambiguous feelings. The resolution of internal conflicts becomes possible only through the acceptance of heavy emotions and sublimation of all of it in a creative act.
The series appears in the project as I comprehend life situations. Such work on myself helps not to forget about fact that human existence is not only the satisfaction of bodily and intellectual needs, but also the mutual dance of the soul and life.
«In memory of beauty» is about accepting vulnerability.
«White shadows» is about meeting with shadow side of personality.
«Make-a-wish rainbow flower» is about miracle of conscious decisions.
«Vanity Fair» is about finding a balance between ambitions and development.
«Mixed feelings» is about acceptance of emotional duality.
«Sweet nothings» is about finding joy in the little things.
Flowers as a symbol of the transience of existence, that froze in eternity in the form of photographs, also the subjectivity of color perception, emphasize the unique spiritual path of each person, its fragility and at the same time strength.
Therefore, my project is going on as long as I exist.
