Flora Paradoxa  2026

A photographic series on flowers, started with a simple premise: what if flowers weren't just flowers? An experiment exploring the boundaries between photography and painting.

Drowning Flowers  2025-2026

Pink Prairie Gentian

Pink Prairie Gentian, faded Jasmine and Persian Buttercup leaves arranged, photographed and reproduced in a mix of embroidery and hand painted felt.  The edges of some leaves and petals have been burnt to give a more withered look.

White Garden Roses

An arrangement of white garden roses, jasmine buds, and foliage, executed through embroidery using stranded cotton floss and fabric. The composition was styled, photographed, and reproduced for creating a layered botanical texture.

Yellow Ranunculus

Yellow ranunculus and leaves created through a combination of ribbon embroidery and hand-dyed, heat-molded floral techniques, I applied a handcrafted dye gradient effect on the yellow petals and used a scorching process on the leaves.

This is a mixed-media textile work in which I used silk, organza, cotton fabric, beads, yarn, paper, glass, wool, and more. Various flowers are arranged, photographed, and reproduced through a mix of silk ribbon embroidery and hand-painted felt, knitting, and crochet. The edges of the paper and the broken petals give a withered look. I incorporated glass elements to represent self-reflection, hoping that viewers, including myself, can see their true selves, the deep emotions within, and those precious memories through the mirror. In this piece, I aim to express the fleeting nature of flowers, evoking reflection on the uncertainty and impermanence of everything in nature, with the hope of inspiring a greater capacity to treasure time and life. It may be a way of self-healing and healing others if it resonates with the audience.
