Dying of the Light is a photographic series documenting a single peony's four-week journey from bloom to decay.

I perforate the printed images with pins and re-photograph them on a lightbox, allowing light to shine through the "wounds" to emphasise life's fragility and beauty in imperfection.

This process explores themes of transformation, vulnerability and resilience, capturing the quiet beauty found in decline and the emotional resonance that persists beyond the flowers’ fade.
