This image is museum-quality at a very high resolution by master printer using archival pigments and archival German Cotton Rag Paper. I can send tiff details (this format only allows JPEGS - a lesser quality) if you are interested. This is the image, not the frame. Overview Modern Renaissance is a investigation the flower as a subject and symbol through detailed photography. Beyond their implicit beauty, the botanical form of flowers become architectural, meditative, and subtly confrontational. These works reject the decorative cliché of floral imagery and instead approach the flower as a designed moment, both in life and death, blossom and decay—evoking structure, mortality, and desire. The photographs do not strive to document nature in a single moment. Rather, they are contemporary visual designs, drawing from traditions in modernist photography, Japanese ikebana, and spatial minimalism. They are clean, bold, and deliberate—resonating with architectural and sculptural sensibilities. Conceptual Framework This series sits on the threshold between natural form and constructed meaning. Informed by contemporary concerns—impermanence, gender coding in nature, digital perception—each image is a quiet rupture in the expectation of “flower photography.” Rather than amplify color or romanticism, these compositions emphasize shadow, form, repetition, and tension. The work draws from design theory, meditative aesthetics, and visual silence—creating a contemplative experience for the viewer. Technical Specifications - Archival pigment prints on fine cotton rag Hahnemühle paper Sizes range up to  20” x 30”  Editioned (typically in sets of 50) Ready for installation - unframed here (framed possible to arrange after purchase) Artist Statement My work engages with the visual tension between blossom and decay in organic forms. I explore how designed images of and in nature can hold space for complexity in thought, while respecting the simplicity of their inherent structure. Through visual restraint,  I play with the ideas of emotional tension, sensual structure, and aesthetic clarity. In photographing flowers, I’m less interested in their traditional symbolism and more so  how they behave under a clarifying process, reducing them down to their essential form while studying them in their chaotic, natural state, full of dew drops, insects, and morning sun— basic elements that affect the outcome more than a studio study could ever reflect. Yet, what remains in terms of geometry, light-play, and eventual entropy are uniquely pared down to the essence of what exists in a single moment of their life. Target Audience & Relevance This exhibition will engage viewers across many disciplines and age groups—design, photography, gender studies, architecture—providing both aesthetic pleasure and conceptual depth. It is equally resonant for public audiences and academic or curatorial communities interested in the poetics of contemporary image-making.
