This photographic series merges my training in engineering with a painterly sensibility, using analog film to reveal the hidden rhythms and geometries of the natural world. Working primarily with 35mm and 120 film, I employ bulb mode and multiple exposures to layer time, movement, and memory within a single frame. These techniques, informed by Susan Sontag’s reflections on photography, allow the images to transcend literal representation and probe deeper questions of space, reality, and perception.

Inspired by the crystalline structures of trees and their resonance with harmonic patterns—echoing the non-repeating logic of Penrose tilings and the golden ratio—the works uncover subtle symmetries and abstract beauty in everyday scenes. Flowers intermingle with urban environments, suggesting narratives of nature reclaiming space while exposing underlying order within apparent chaos.

The series was first exhibited as Paris, les Fleurs at Galerie de Paris, Village Suisse, Paris (opening April 2024), with select images continuing to be shown alongside my watercolors.
