The frame closes in on the very heart of a bursting lilac bud, where young leaves unfold into an almost symmetrical, cup-like arrangement. Soft, diffused light draws out the silvery down on the leaf blades and their delicate veining, while a shallow depth of field dissolves the background into a cool, steel-blue haze. The palette stays within sage green, white and graphite, which makes the photograph read as quiet and very elegant. The sharpness held at the front of the composition makes the plant look like a sculpture lifted straight out of early spring. The work suits a minimalist interior, a bedroom, or a calm corner of a study.
I photograph on the wild meadows of Warsaw. These are plants considered weeds. Often unnoticed, yet look how beautiful they are.
