Renewal
‘Renewal’ is an art piece that combines flowers photographed by me in Los Angeles and Boston. The art piece shows a large dead tree trunk, with numerous holes from detached branches. An array of flowers spawns from the holes in the trunk and beautifully establishes its own artful patterns. The renewal of life is an essential element of existence and is powerfully displayed by the conjunction of flowers and dead wood. The diversity of color and the form of the flowers is apparent, with approximately 40 different species represented in the art piece.
I took all the photographs using an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Using Affinity Photo for editing, I resized each photograph to promote effective image segmentation, segmented each photograph to isolate the portrayed flower, exported the resulting photograph on a transparent background, and then combined each of the roughly 40 photographs in the Renewal art piece. The time to segment a flower from its surroundings was typically 30 minutes or more.
I have chosen to print the art using a substrate of Dibond, which is an aluminum composite material. The process overlays the Dibond with a silver halide print that supports 610 dpi resolution. A satin laminate covers the print for protection, and the entire assembly is placed in a slim white wooden float frame. I have chosen the satin finish to accentuate the visual impact.
