Trail of Flowers
‘Trail of Flowers’ is an art piece that combines flowers photographed by me in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. My objective was to assemble a flower montage where the photographs have a location authenticity. In the art piece, the parts of Southeast Asia that were most heavily affected during the Vietnam conflict are outlined in a green glow and filled with red flowers. The remaining areas are filled with white and yellow flowers. The piece depicts the transition of the area from turbulent times to a more peaceful time frame. I use more than 50 different species of flowers in the art piece.
I took all the photographs using an iPhone 15 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 50 photographs in the Trail of Flowers piece.
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 float frame. I have chosen a mid-gloss finish to accentuate the visual impact.
