“A Beautiful Bouquet”



As time glides by, memories fade, yet in our hearts, youth has forever resided…

As a college senior on the cusp of graduation, poised to step into the adult world, I am acutely aware of the swift departure of youth. Meanwhile, flowers are a perfect embodiment of the quintessence of youth. Much like a vibrant bouquet that captivates with its colors and beauty, youth too is a fleeting spectacle. Witnessing the gradual withering of the flowers echoes the transient nature of our own existence. However, it is precisely the impermanence that imparts significance to an object. Just as Yin and Yang harmonize, creation and destruction are intertwined and inseparable, forming the essence of life. 

Drawing inspiration from Helena Christensen's captivating photography series featured on the Vogue Czechoslovakia May 2019 cover, I have sought to blend fashion and flowers, infusing my work with vitality. Additionally, through some photos in this photo narrative, I also pay homage to the Tahitian paintings of French painter Paul Gauguin.
The overall vision of my photo story is to encapsulate the beauty of youth, juxtaposed against varied backgrounds that symbolize the stages of life. The backdrop transitions between lush greens and more barren landscapes, mirroring the diverse phases we navigate. Yet, the glow of youth remains a constant, akin to the passion and hope inherent in our early twenties. Through this visual narrative, I aim to evoke resonance within my audience, serving as a reminder of the power and vitality encapsulated within the fleeting phase of youth.
