These images explore the evocative fragility of cut flowers as they begin to wilt, drop petals and grow mould. The flowers emanate strongly anthropomorphic qualities in both their posture and predicament; holding on with a dignified grace, as their end comes quietly and quickly to meet them.

Theo Deproost’s fine-art work displays a clear and unifying objective - to nurture a more exploratory, imaginative and gratifying approach to viewing the world around us; probing the liminal space between art, documentation and education. When producing photographic work, Deproost strives to combine a high level of technical ability with an inquisitive creativity.
