A Living Observation

Après les fleurs
After years of work in Paris, photographer Nicolas Hrycaj sought solitude and a fresh perspective, venturing south to the volcanic island of Stromboli. The result is ‘Après les fleurs,’ a mesmerizing exploration of fragility and unpredictable beauty. This portfolio presents portraits of flowers found on a volcanic island, captured against the dramatic backdrop of twilight skies and the erupting ‘Iddu’ – the island’s powerful, living volcano.

The Last Fruit Tree
Enter the world of The Last Fruit Tree, a still life editorial by Scotty Gunderson, David Miller, and Dylan Nelson. This collection exists in a liminal space where fruit is archived and florals are reborn, bridging decay and resurrection. The resulting artifacts and vessels, including ceramics by Ashley Brazil, challenge perceptions of function and futility. Is this a beginning, a middle, or an end? A forgotten harvest, or a stage for deliberate excess? These are not mere images, but echoes of what remains when growth recedes. Witness these fragile, constructed scenes that linger and resonate, even as they wither.
Cecil Beaton’s Garden party
Come and join Cecil Beaton’s Garden party! Experienced through black and white photographs, we can still sense the joy of Stephen Tennant and Cecil Beatons Fete Gallant in the gardens of Wilsford. As you gaze at the images you can hear the shrieks of delight and silly insider jokes. Naive by comparison to the contemporary Bal du Transvestites at Magic City the images are infused with “queer delight”, sublimated into Eighteenth Century tableaus bathed in the dappled light of Tenants arcadian garden. A golden time, the wonder and joy was real and it radiates out from the shots…. And so it began, throughout Cecil Beaton's life there is a sense that he not only sought out Arcadia, but he also believed it existed, perhaps finally finding it at Reddish.

Garden of Disappearing Wings
She is a human during the day.
She is a bird during the night.
She mystifies her reality, walking in a hidden garden where light meets shadow at the end of the day.
She belongs to both worlds. She is dual: darkness and halo live within her body.
The leaves inhale her mystery, and through the whisper of her wings, she disappears into a dark paradise.
