"Rural simplicity: Heads up! A dried damsel-in-the-green lets its head hang" is a macro photo of a dried box fruit of a damsel-in-the-green (also called Nigella Damascena).
The stem of this plant is kinked at the top, making it look as if this dried plant is letting its head hang. A calm and simple image which has a rural natural look.
When taking this photo, I opted for a shallow depth of field, which gradually blurs everything in front and behind the focus area. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this. The background has a fairly even shade of light brown - taupe beige-like colour, which creates a natural and calm look.
Associations with this work: dry flower, simplicity, broken, kink, peace, sadness, impermanence.
This work could hang beautifully as wall decoration, on aluminium or HD metal for example, in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
