Lesley Bretherton, Iris and Pansies (CREATIVE 2025)

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of Wabi Sabi, I embrace imperfection, asymmetry, and transience, finding beauty in the modest and ephemeral. By layering multiple exposures, my still life compositions meditate on the delicate balance between vitality and decline, inviting viewers to reflect on the unseen emotional depth beneath fleeting blooms.
