The second set of final pieces I produced were photographs of artificial flowers, linking to the iconic name ‘ARTificial’. By incorporating artificial flowers within my work, I attempted to demonstrate man kind’s ignorant and insincere nature as they’d rather obtain fake flowers that don’t need care than maintain the health of more natural and beautiful flowers.

Similarly to the Zoe Leonard technique of sewing together fruits to resemble her mourning, I used the sewing of photographs to represent the cold, inconsiderate and neglectful nature of the human species as in order to have a full flower, man-kind had to physically sew it together, which also demonstrates their attempts at rekindling nature.

The second piece I produced specifically for this project is the lonely flower. The flower is an obvious representation of the natural world and for me to photograph it intentionally on its own I attempted to display the reclusive and lonely nature that the environment faces. As humans, we often deface nature and turn areas of natural life into housing developments or offices, particularly in Jersey so for the flower to be stood up by its self establishes the natural resistance.
