Appreciation towards Fong Qi Wei for providing the following description:

花是自然界发现的最美丽最复杂的繁殖器官。来自新加坡的艺术家推出这个“爆炸”的花系列，将花儿拆开，组件对称摆放。她的灵感来自于Todd McLellan的拆卸系列，但是很多不尽相同之点。这些花儿的摆放也与其真实大小有关，艺术家也从中得到了乐趣，比如向日葵的花朵摆出来要比玫瑰的大。此外需要等待恰当的时机拍摄，干燥的花瓣和怒放中的鲜活花瓣的美食各有千秋的。

该系列作品受到世界各地媒体的关注。

Series on flowers and their forms as well as individual components.

Flowers are indeed one of the most beautiful and complex structures found in nature, specifically designed to achieve the purpose of reproduction.

This is a new series I have embarked on – exploded flowers which are images that show the radial symmetry of flowers, and also individual floral components. This series is inspired partially by Todd McLellan’s Disassembly series (which is not to say that my level of photography is comparable to his).

The act of disassembly (I hesitate to use the term dissection because this series is not meant to be a scientific treatise) lays bare the various shapes and textures of the flowers, and what is interesting to me is how much more expanded some flowers can get when they are disassembled – the relative surface area to size of a rose is so much greater compared to a larger flower like the sunflower.

Also, as a medium that captures a moment in time – which was made clear when I noticed dried gerbera petals after only a single night – the use of photography captures the beauty and intricacies of nature’s flowers in the moment of full bloom, and at the same time let you have a different appreciation of their beauty.

This series has been featured worldwide, in various publications such as Feature Shoot, Digital Camera Magazine China, McGraw-Hill Education, Esquire Russia, Petapixel, The Telegraph, The Boston Globe, My Modern Met and more!
