Part of the Air

Botanical cyanotype series

Each image is a threshold, a meeting place between the ephemeral and the eternal, where the fragility of a leaf becomes a silent witness to stories unfolding at the margins of the world. This dialogue of light, shadow, and texture invites careful looking—to discover the poetry hidden in the everyday and to reflect on the connection between nature, identity, and the passage of time.

In the larger works of this series, I have experimented with double exposures and the layering of leaves, combining different planes to create textures that evoke movement and depth—like the quiet whisper of a living ecosystem. The images unfold with a near-tangible richness, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the details, as if walking beneath a canopy of leaves telling their own stories.

Another part of the process involved transferring cyanotypes onto real leaves—a technical and poetic challenge that demanded time, patience, and perseverance. Working with the fragility of each leaf—its veins, edges, and unique character—became an act of listening, a way of attuning myself to the rhythms of nature, not to master it, but to collaborate with it.
