​The images re-conceptualize our surroundings by shifting the focus from novel, overwhelming and undecipherable environments, to natural elements that transcend uncertainty and unease.

 

Fundamental natural specimens like flowers, are recognized symbols of beauty; awareness of their presence initiate psychological processes emanating reassurance, comfort, and pleasure. The potency of these symbols extends beyond our immediate perception in asserting the transcendent qualities of beauty and its allusion to achieving a deeper and profound human existence.

Through established psychological channels, beauty becomes a powerful pathway to hope, vital for survival and well-being, propelling individuals to counter formidable threats in a chaotic environment.
