Solar Impressions – Day No.  1

Part of my Solar Impressions series, where sunlight, botany and chemistry come together in a photographic yet painterly process.

Each work begins with hand-cut stencils and carefully gathered botanicals from my local surroundings. Rather than simply depicting nature, the botanicals become part of the image itself, leaving their own traces through light-sensitive processes. Some motifs also evolve from earlier works, creating a quiet dialogue between past and present.

The Day works explore the lighter side of the series — luminous, botanical impressions shaped by sunlight, color and chance. The female form and the natural world meet in soft, shifting layers, capturing something fleeting between body, nature and light.
