Leaf Studies

Leaf Studies is an ongoing photographic series exploring leaves—fallen, attached, frozen, or submerged—across different seasons.

The work focuses on quiet moments of transition, where time, water, and surface shape subtle transformations. Leaves are observed not as symbols, but as presences: carrying traces of growth, decay, and suspension.

By isolating small gestures and understated encounters, the series invites slow looking. What appears fragile or temporary becomes held—by ice, by water, by snow, or by light—revealing a delicate balance between change and stillness.

Rich green alchemilla leaves with rounded edges, holding clear water droplets in their centers.
