With springtime coming, autumn and winter are far behind us. This means that all remains of the past seasons are put away in favour of a new time. In this conceptual series of objects, leafs of autumn & winter flowers were collected and dried. They were fixed using pure white natural wax. These combinations of autumn colours and winter white give the setting on the black background a very cheerful impression. All contradictions of winter with darkness and sadness are blown away in this series. Again, a very fragile combination. So simple en yet a rich illustration of the concept of beauty.

Have you ever wondered what beauty is ?
