Galaxies Within is a series inspired by the otherworldly magic of nature’s blooms, featuring dahlias grown in my own garden. Each piece begins with a photograph of a single dahlia, which is then mirrored and manipulated to create a stunning, infinite reflection—transforming the flower into its own unique galaxy, brimming with stars and limitless potential. While the images radiate symmetry and vibrancy, each one holds subtle imperfections, a gentle reminder that beauty is found not in perfection, but in authenticity.
These imperfections echo the human experience, encouraging us to embrace the unique qualities that make us who we are. Just as no two galaxies are alike, neither are we, and within those differences lies our magic. These colorful, dynamic works invite viewers to explore the boundless possibilities of their own dreams and desires, much like gazing into the vastness of the cosmos. Galaxies Within is a celebration of nature’s ability to inspire wonder, connection, and endless imagination, while also reminding us of the beauty in our own limitless potential.
