About the Book
The floral portraits capture the essence of the fleeting existence of flowers in an almost water-colour like way in botanical photograms and form a contemporary herbarium with compositional references to Ikebana.
In the predominantly white works, the life-giving light engulfs the flowers like
shimmering dawn. In the black works, the nighttime darkness forms a strong contrast, which makes the intimate parts of the flowers shine.

About the Creator
Tropism Art & Science Collective
Amsterdam, NH, Netherlands
The dictionary definition of tropism is: ‘the ability of an organism to direct itself towards a stimulus’. The most common example is phototropism: the plant's ability to turn towards the light. In ancient Greek ‘tropo' means ‘change’ or ‘turn’. Tropism manifests itself in a variation of art domains in order to surprise and perhaps every now and then generate awareness. With art we can fulfil, cheer and enlighten. Tropism is art inflicted by stimuli from nature that shed new light and aims to shift perceptions.
