Two essays on symbolism and the history of the floral still life

For more than two decades this photographer has focused her eye on flowers, zooming in on calyxes, pistils, and leaf veins to create exuberant feasts of color. While celebrating the wide variety of shapes and sizes that nature and human cultivation have brought, she is no less fascinated by the process of decay: as the flowers fade, wilt, and wither, she transforms them under water into images of strange, compelling beauty, combining delicate beauty with a stirring memento mori.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
