Beast's Garden
What might this be?
A perfect nightmare of flowers in the garden of the unconscious mind.
Inspired by Hermann Rorschach inkblot test, "Beast's garden" triggers the unconscious mind to demonstrate an extraordinary degree of originality. The photographs are a kind of mirror, reflecting the viewer's emotions, through one's ability to project interpretations onto ambiguous forms, in this case, flowers.
No two minds are alike. Thus every viewer will have a different interpretation of the forms, floating in darkness, depending on their perceptive abilities, intelligence, and emotional characteristics.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I am an artist and photographer from Bulgaria.
To me photography is an exploration of the mind. A kind of fiction, offering a glimpse of a co-existing reality. A way of seeing a world floating between unspoken dreams yet-to-be and the endless nostalgia for the time that has never been, with a surreal motif. Since photography is born in a split-second, I find it being the perfect medium to show a fraction of a supposed reality. A fraction that does not describe, but merely suggests. A fraction that has no beginning or an end, but is bound to have an afterlife, long and rich as the viewer’s memory.
