Flowers to forget

Losing a loved one creates a profound emptiness that is hard to articulate, introducing a silence that permeates our daily existence and alters our perception and experience of the world.

During the grieving process, we find various ways to express ourselves, sometimes in silence or with those who matter most. The sea serves as a fitting backdrop for our sense of absence, representing an immense and ever-evolving space that mirrors the emotional turbulence of mourning. It symbolizes the journey from intense and painful feelings to a serene acceptance of loss, yet it remains ever-changing. In contrast to this vastness, a bouquet of flowers—the focal point of the series—acts as a tribute and an emotional anchor, highlighting both the boundlessness of the sea and the delicacy of the flowers themselves. Each photograph invites the viewer to experience a moment of tranquility and connection, allowing contemplation of both the visual and the emotions it evokes. A bouquet of flowers transcends mere decoration or a traditional mourning symbol; it symbolizes someone who remembers, cherishing the moments that once existed. It pays homage to the memory of the deceased, ensuring their presence lingers amidst an absence that often feels unhealable.
