The flowers still speak softly as summer fades away. The series 'Indian summer whispers' is about the beauty of impermanence.
This dahlia is already at the end of its flowering season. On the transition to autumn, it holds on to its warm colour for as long as possible.
I think the dahlia is a beautiful and powerful flower. Exuberantly in bloom until the end of summer, full of light and vibrancy. I wanted to show exactly that contrast: transience, but also vitality that lingers.
