In this series, I explore beauty in a minor key. The flowers appear gracious, yet their surfaces carry the marks of time, scratches, erosion, and subtle dissonance. I intentionally preserve these imperfections to reveal the tension between harmony and decay. For me, art is not about resolving that tension, but about allowing it to resonate. The result is a meditation on endurance, where elegance coexists with abrasion and impermanence becomes a form of quiet strength.

Jurors of the 2011 Prix de la Photographie Paris competition have selected this series to receive a bronze medal award. According to Jade Tran, Competition Director, the work has been "recognized for its excellence in originality, creativity, excellence of execution, and overall impact."

The series was also nominated in the "Fine Art" category at the 3rd Fine Art Photography Awards.
