Gelatin silver print
This photo art series explores the relationship between man and nature through a series of double exposed images captured on film. The black and white gelatin silver prints present a powerful visual contrast between abandoned waste and delicate flowers, inviting the viewer to reflect on the delicate balance between the industrial and the organic.
The use of film cameras to capture these images imbues the series with a sense of timelessness, drawing attention to the cyclical nature of life and death. The double exposure technique serves to heighten the visual narrative, bringing together seemingly disparate elements to create a unified, thought-provoking composition.
The contrast between the urban decay and the lush, thriving blooms serves as a reminder of the beauty and power of the natural world, even in the face of human destruction. This series is a commentary on the interplay between man and nature, and the ways in which our actions impact the world around us.
