Nora’s Roses
This photographic series of dying roses is from a bouquet that my friend, Nora, gave me on my birthday. I was intrigued by their process of decay, and found that in many ways they were becoming more beautiful with age. I found myself unable to dispose of them without documenting their beauty, which resulted in this series of photographs. These images can be read both as portraits and figural studies, and are an expression of the transitory and the individuality of flowers.
