Both photography pieces draw inspiration from artists like Irving Penn, who captured intricate still lifes with reflective surfaces, and Robert Mapplethorpe, who is well-known for his striking black-and-white floral images. It also reflects the compositional approach of Andreas Gursky, emphasizing the interplay of natural elements. These artists share a focus on beauty, detail, and emotional resonance in their work, aligning well with the themes presented in the photography.

The Reflection final project consists of a series of photos centered on roses, taken in diverse locales. The top row focuses on the beauty of roses submerged in water, highlighting their texture and the interaction of light and raindrops. The middle row features a mirrored surface with a single rose and abstracted closeups, resulting in a dreamy ambiance. The bottom row features a glass vase and two glasses, which represent clarity and tranquillity against a serene background. The black-and-white palette highlights the themes of beauty, nature, and the fleeting aspect of life.

The experiment project delves on ideas of connection, intimacy, and introspection through photos of a person interacting with roses and a glass vase. The top row concentrates on the subject’s emotional link with the flowers, while the center row uses dynamic lighting to create atmosphere and depth. The bottom row focuses into contemplation, with the vase framing the subject and emphasizing the fragility and beauty of the rose. In general, the show invites viewers to think about the connection between human emotion and the fleeting nature of life.
