Fine Art nominee

In this serie i wanted to work around the definition of... a''seed''... it's the main survival organ in seed plants and a necessity for the cyclus of reproduction…you can see them as small embryos enclosed in a shell covering. They are the product of the matured mother plant , and the development often starts in the fruit itself...In nature, they get dispersed by the plant itself, wind, water or animals...

With the use of optical glass, I wanted to put the focus on a few of them to grab the viewer's attention.
