My idea for this project is influenced by my interest in art therapy and the spiritual and psychological life of people. I want to focus on the cyclical nature of beauty/joy and pain, focusing on how humans have the ability to experience both at once. I think that in life beauty and suffering comes in cycles, but it's the ability of the human spirit to acknowledge their existence simultaneously that really interests me. My intent is to use botanical and natural elements as symbols for both suffering and beauty, utilizing both images of plant matter and pressed, dried flower scans. I would like to use flowers and other natural subjects to make an image that is beautiful, but somewhat haunted.
