Dried Floral Still Life

I've always been drawn to the beauty of things in transition. There's something so captivating about the way flowers fade, their vibrant colors softening into muted tones, their delicate petals curling and crisping at the edges. This arrangement captures that ephemeral beauty, a reminder that even in decay, there is still a story to be told. The contrast of the bright yellows and blues against the deeper reds and purples creates a striking visual, a celebration of the full life cycle of these blooms.

Each flower in this composition has its own unique texture and form, a testament to the diversity of nature. The dried stems and leaves add another layer of depth, their earthy tones providing a grounding element to the overall composition. I love how the light catches the intricate details of each petal and stem, highlighting the delicate beauty that remains even as the flowers fade. It's a reminder to appreciate the beauty in every stage of life, even the ones that are fleeting.
