For me flowers create hope, they come in many forms: dried, fresh, weeds and pressed. Also, in different types and colours. I find this inspiring and hopeful as it reflects people and how everyone is unique and individually different. Flowers are everywhere and present through every season – some more than others. The grow in different environments but all blossom in a similar way. They’re admired and have many purposes; they’re gifted in good times and bad and each type is beautified in it’s own way. I chose to photograph dried flowers as it shows that they can be preserved and don’t have to die within weeks of blooming. They can be enjoyed and admired for years, instead of just days. Showing the overall symbol of hope in a flower and what they represent.
