GENTLE GIANTS

Gentle Giants explores botanical perception through the imagined viewpoint of an ant, shifting the scale at which wildflowers and their environments are experienced. By placing the camera at ground level, beneath the stems and petals, and directing the lens upward toward the sky, the work reveals an unfamiliar perspective—one ordinarily accessible only to creatures much smaller than ourselves.

From this altered vantage point, wildflowers transform into towering forms: monumental, architectural, and quietly powerful. Familiar landscapes become immersive and disorienting, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to scale, ecology, and the unnoticed worlds existing just beneath human awareness.

The series seeks to interrupt habitual ways of seeing by offering a perspective that feels both intimate and alien. In doing so, Gentle Giants encourages a renewed attentiveness to overlooked environments and the subtle coexistence between living beings that inhabit the same space, yet experience it in profoundly different ways.

This series is a continuation of Botanical Perceptions from 2016 that was awarded 1ST PLACE IPA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2016 and SILVER PX3 PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PARIS 2017-
