Stillness in Bloom

.This series reflects my ongoing exploration of minimalism in still life. Originally created last year and revisited this month through new edits, the works distill flowers into their quietest forms: a single bloom, a fragile cluster, or a slender arrangement suspended in space. Each piece captures the dialogue between light, shadow, and silence, revealing how restraint can hold depth and grace. Across these nine images, the journey moves from brightness and clarity, through contrast and shadow, to a state of refined stillness. They are meditations on presence, simplicity, and the beauty of less.
