"Black - White: A square gerbera with a loose petal" is a photograph of a Gerbera that has a petal "on its lap". On this petal is a drop of water. It looks as if the Gerbera is cradling the loose petal, with a drop of water on it, on her lap. (A kind of anthropomorphism: giving human characteristics to flowers / plants) To me, this image has something vulnerable, endearing but also very cute. A shallow depth-of-field was chosen when making this photo. This ensures that only a small part is in focus and the further away you get from this part, the blurrier the image becomes. This creates depth in the work, but also a dreamy atmosphere! This work could be beautifully hung as a wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the couch in the living room! Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business) ©Marjolijn van den Berg
