These are plants considered weeds. Often overlooked, yet look how beautiful they are. Against a deep, inky-navy background stretches a tangle of thin Japanese rose shoots with a few bright, round berries, frosted and glistening like tiny pearls.
I photograph on the wild meadows of Warsaw. I set the focus on the two central berries, so the remaining twigs fall into gentle blur and the frame gains a sense of breath and space. The light is sparing, pinpoint — it brings out the rough, grainy texture of the stalks and the cool sheen of the skin, without brightening the background.
The whole has the mood of stillness before frost, restrained, eastern in the spirit of its composition. It fits beautifully in a hallway above a console table, alongside greenery in a white vase, or in a cool, modern living room.
The photographs are printed on professional, archival papers in limited editions. You can order other size. Print size 29 × 42 cm.
