Theresa Lee, An Illumination (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

The beauty of flowers past their prime and finding a creative way to see them is my solace. As the petals of this peony flower wither and decay I see its beauty emerge in its proud form and subtle colour palette. It symbolises to me the importance of being kind to our elders and that beauty exists at any stage of life. Illuminated with a single incandescent globe as the primary light source and through long exposure this ageing bloom’s timeless splendour can be better appreciated artistically.
