Garden of Weeds is a photographic series of wild plants isolated on a white background.

Garden of Weeds is a photographic project dedicated to spontaneous plants that grow at the margins of the landscape.
Isolated on a white background, these vegetal presences are observed as autonomous forms. By suspending the surrounding context, the images shift attention toward the structure and gesture of the plant, allowing what usually remains unnoticed to emerge.
Commonly referred to as “weeds”, these plants grow along roadsides, between cracks in walls and in abandoned fields. They exist everywhere, yet they rarely become objects of attention.
Through this work the weed becomes a figure and the margin becomes a place of observation. The project invites a slower and more attentive way of looking at the landscape and at the forms of life that inhabit its edges.
