About the artwork

This dandelion stands in a moment of in-between time - no longer complete, not yet completely blown away. Some of the filigree umbrellas have already detached, others are still clinging to the central seed head. It is the silent transition between fullness and departure, captured in a macro shot that shows the essence of this familiar wildflower with great delicacy.

The light falls gently on the remaining parachutes, illuminating their fine rays and making them stand out against the soft background. The central structure is still clearly visible, while small gaps begin to dissolve the spherical character. It is precisely this imperfection that makes the photograph so appealing - it shows movement at a standstill, change in the moment.

The background blurs into warm, natural brown tones - calm, discreet and yet full of depth. This allows the dandelion to stand out clearly without appearing isolated. It creates a feeling of calm, but also of change. The photography is technically precise, but emotionally open - an image that invites reflection.

As part of the Wildflowers in Portrait series, this photograph fits into an overall concept that brings new attention to the inconspicuous plants in our surroundings. The dandelion in its final stage symbolises letting go, change and natural decay - not sadly, but as a calm part of the cycle.

Ideal as a mural in practice rooms, coaching studios, therapy areas, studios, waiting rooms or living areas where change, lightness and nature are allowed to play a role.
