Avechan

I’m growing, bundling, and photographing flowers.

In my garden, I welcome the appearance of unsightly flowers without overdoing it. This is because I feel that fun and strength emerge from the individual differences that are not found in the flowers on the market. And I bundle the flowers in my own style, which is different from the usual way of arranging and tying, so that it will be completed only when I cut it into a photograph. Bouquets are sometimes classified as still life, but in reality flowers change continuoasly depending on the light, temperature and water conditions. It would be my greatest pleasure if you could feel the beauty overflowing from that limited life.
