This project explores death and decay, highlighting that beauty can be found even in these uncomfortable places. The photos portray leaves that have fallen and decayed and -- yet -- retain an intrinsic beauty evidenced by their complex architecture. There is also a parallel to be drawn with the human condition: we all live and die and even after death we leave behind signs of our existence that can be appreciated perhaps from a different perspective.
