Photographic project: “Bloom”
The difference between climate and weather is well summarized by the popular phrase "climate is what you expect, weather is what you get." At the same time, if weather is what every day we have to deal with, it is climate that defines the growth and development of living beings. That is to say, climate finally offers a critical point of view on the landscape at the time of climate change. Series reflect on the flora as the material expression of such nexus.
