Her series Disrupt illustrates the intricate patterns found within wildflowers and pollen. Through her compelling compositions, she draws attention to the beauty of nature, while shedding light on the loss of rainforests and the importance of their preservation. She encourages viewers to contemplate the significance of nature in the Earth’s ecological system, as well as its importance to the livelihoods and well-being of people everywhere.
“To add some lightness to my practice, I started experimenting with shooting wild flowers and the amazing micro universes one can discover from the ground and upwards—like seeing the world from an insect’s perspective. Since then I have had a great love for photographing flowers; in their fragility they have the ability to express all kinds of emotions, from deep love and passion to violence and assault. Photography has become my language and I enjoy exploring and playing with the medium.”
