The umbel of wild carrot crosses the frame in a gentle arc, scattering hundreds of tiny, creamy-white flowers along its curve. The photograph is built on contrast: a lace-like, densely woven upper edge of the composition against a wide, calm plane of navy blur below. Selective sharpness catches individual rays of the umbel and their needle-thin stalks, so the plant seems woven from frost. The cool, almost nocturnal tone lifts this common weed out of the everyday and gives it a gallery-worthy gravity. The work fits beautifully into sets of three prints on one wall, in a living room or dining room.
I photograph on the wild meadows of Warsaw. These are plants considered weeds. Often unnoticed, yet look how beautiful they are.
