This series brings flowers in bloom into conversation with the familiar, slightly uncanny forms of human anatomy. Both are shaped by time—growing, fading, changing—and that shared fragility is where their beauty lives. We’re drawn to what’s fleeting. We try to hold onto it. We mark time, even as it keeps moving.
Each image layers anatomical illustrations with vibrant floral imagery. Dark linework gives way to color beneath the surface—petals, stems, and blooms emerging quietly through the frame. The colors bleed and overlap, as if the two images can’t quite contain each other.
Perennial flowers return again and again, marking seasons as they pass. They mirror the human condition: resilient, fragile, and always changing. I’m interested in that tension—the desire for more time, more energy, more experience—and the way we cling even tighter as things slip through our hands.
The anatomical elements come from photographs of illustrations in the original Gray’s Anatomy, layered with my own photographs of flowers. Color is used deliberately, accenting points of the body where life feels most present. The edges remain soft, sometimes uncertain. Like time itself.
