“Photograph a rose”
My mother and grandmother were florists. I grew up in the flower shop that they only operated in Detroit Michigan. As a kid, my friends were flowers. I remember playing by myself, imagination running wild. The backdrop to my childhood were floral landscapes, some for funerals, some for weddings, all of them for love.
This is the deconstruction of a rose that I gave to my wife and daughter in January of 2023. Every petal was meticulously removed and photographed. The petals of love, the dismantling of my childhood. Photographed on fresh snow, representing the backdrop of my childhood, known to us as “The Flower Shop.”
