Botanica is a collection of photographs that convey the sensuality and femininity of flowers. Throughout art history, flowers have been used as symbols for different emotions, and a simple flower in an artwork can tell a whole story.

Humans are naturally drawn to flowers because of their beauty, fragrance and symmetric shapes. In this body of work I experimented with mundane and rather boring portraits, soaked them in milk, and added flowers. I was intrigued to discover that the portraits were instantly transformed. The flowers added symbolism and meaning to the work, and the milk added a sensual and feminine vibe. I also experimented with foliage, and the opposite happened. It was interesting to see that the foliage added masculinity to the work, and made it convey a completely different story.
