Dead leaves: Lost Beauty

This set includes different symbols that refer to specific subjects (human traits, I mean) such as butterflies, sea, sky, egg, and brain. Butterfly’s wings, brain, sea, stone, sky, and egg are symbols of beauty, strength, thought, vastness, pride and difficulty, infinite area, and human embryo, respectively. I was very fortunate to start this project in Autumn when I could use beautiful Autumn leaves for the background in the photos. This set is indeed a pattern of natural objects with many details! The subject of each set is attributed to the photo’s texture. Further, I embedded some needles in leaves to exemplify determinism, e.g., birth and death that are not our choices but rather given to us.
Beautiful and colored butterflies with needles embedded in their bodies were placed alongside lifeless leaves. It may seem at first glance that they are alive, but as one looks at them more precisely, they can recognize impaired wings and butterflies collapsed on lifeless leaves.
