Laid Still — Still Waterless

Water is everything. It is a vital source of life for every species on the planet. In this contemporary moment, people around the globe are experiencing either too much water or not enough. Our relationship with water has become increasingly urgent. To illuminate this global challenge, flowers stand in waterless vases, each in a different stage of decline. By isolating this moment of decay, the camera lens freezes each flower in time, rendering it dry and brittle, yet still visually compelling. Deprived of water, these flowers become metaphors for the fragility of nature and the ecosystems upon which all life depends.
