Peony No. 3 • Dying of the Light Collection
Dying of The Light captures the transient beauty of a single peony over four weeks, exploring themes of decay, time, and transformation.
Each photograph marks a moment in the flower’s natural progression, from full bloom to its inevitable fade. By perforating the printed images with a pin and re-photographing them on a lightbox, I introduce light to shine through the wounds, emphasising the fragile nature of existence and the beauty found in imperfection.
This process mirrors the vulnerability and resilience inherent in both nature and human experience. The light that breaks through the perforations speaks to the delicate balance between darkness and illumination, death and rebirth, and the quiet persistence of life even as it fades.
Through this collection, I seek to draw attention to the quiet, often unnoticed moments of beauty in decline and the emotional resonance that lingers long after the bloom has passed.
The final image from the Peony series was chosen as the cover art for Bryde’s single Less.
