Description
"This series presents an intimate botanical study of horse chestnut buds at the point of early spring growth. Fine surface details - downy hairs, lacquered skins, and emerging structures - are rendered with clarity, balancing organic softness with sculptural form. Familiar as a quintessential British tree, the horse chestnut is re-seen here as something more exotic and architectural. The work draws attention to a fleeting stage of growth that is often overlooked. Sourced responsibly, each stem is photographed in isolation and at scale, allowing it to function both as specimen and as presence. The works can either stand individually or as a triptych, inviting a slower, more comparative analysis."
