In the photographic series 'Frozen Leaves,' 'Under Water Leaves,' 'Waterlilies,' and 'Night Flowers,' the states of various plants are analyzed, telling of their coming into being and passing away.

My representations of industrial ruins and garden landscapes, in their abandonment or neglect, simultaneously reflect a connection between the past and the future.
