Natura Insects
Natura Insects is a series of hand-arranged floral insects, created with real plants and flowers collected, foraged, and nurtured over the years. Each piece is a lighthearted creative exercise, organic and destined to decompose—a humbling reminder that nothing lasts forever, especially in nature, and that ephemerality is an essential part of life. Capturing these insects with my camera becomes a way to honor that journey, preserving the vividness and freshness of the materials while they exist in their fleeting stage.
