Since ancient times, people have sought to
transcend the ordinary body through dance and adornment.
The act of covering the face and wearing flowers or
feathers seems to carry a folkloric sense of prayer and protection,
as well as a ritualistic quality that allows one to
transform into another kind of being.
I was deeply drawn to the physical expression and
sculptural beauty she has cultivated as a performer,
as well as to her own striking presence. Through this work,
I explored how far these qualities could be translated into the
medium of photography, and how they might coexist
with flowers ̶ collective forms of natural beauty.
The flowers are not placed merely as decoration, but as quiet armor for
her body, carrying with them the memory of plants themselves.
