Orchids (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The fragile beauty of flowers has always fascinated me for being so apt a metaphor of how ephemeral life is. It is a poetic tragedy. I am here, I am beautiful and I am going to die.
Photography can prolong the life of that moment, because one can go back to that single moment time and time again.
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.
