This series observes a lotus in different states of becoming. Shot on Polaroid instant film, each image preserves soft contours, color shifts, and blurred edges, focusing on the flower’s posture and the way light moves across its surface. The images come from intuition and presence, highlighting the Polaroid’s natural chance and unpredictability. The work does not seek a complete or final form, but a moment that is not fully unfolded, quiet and delicate, inviting all to experience the flow and vitality of nature within imperfection and uncertainty.
