"Intimate Abstractions" is a series of images that explore the inner beauty of flowers. Each photograph reveals provocative and hidden forms, buried deep within the flower. The images show a diverse mixture of color and texture within the forms. Using a shallow depth of field, the eye is led into and around the forms.  These images are about objects that you can find within our world. This portrayal of our universe lies within the flower, waiting to be discovered. Through photographing these abstractions I express my feelings of separation from nature, my isolation in the concrete maze of reality. Taking the time to closely view the intricate details such as the twist of the petals and rich colors draws me deep within their folds. This everyday object has had a profound impact on my life which gives me peace of mind and relaxes my soul. These images represent what one would only truly observe and appreciate in the nature.
