Captured at the threshold between bud and bloom, this photograph focuses on a single protea as its inner structure gradually emerges from the protective outer petals.
Part of the Green Houses & Botanicals series, the image explores growth as a process rather than a fixed state. The intricate geometry of the flower is revealed layer by layer, balancing strength and fragility within a carefully observed botanical form.
Hand-printed using the historic Van Dyke Brown process, each print carries subtle variations in tone, texture and edge, making every piece unique.
