NIGHT BOTANY

Night Botany began in December 2016 as a series of photographs of plants taken at night on the island of St. John. The photos were low resolution and simply shot with an iPhone 6s and small flashlight, but the contrast of bright greens, yellows, pinks, and purples against a precipitously black backdrop gave them an uncanny yet hopeful spirit, as if to say: there is beauty in darkness.
