"The dancing hydrangea leaf: Fragile and fragile" is a macro photo of a hydrangea leaf that has fallen from the hydrangea bush some time ago and has been dried by the sun. As a result, the leaf is still intact but because the leaf has become thinner, the beautiful vein structure is clearly visible.
The leaf lies on a mirrored background with a structure in it. This creates an abstract reflection under the hydrangea leaves and a structure in the bottom and background. If you zoom in on the work, you can see that I chose a shallow depth of field when taking this picture. As a result, one part is in focus and the sharpness gradually decreases as you look in front of and behind this plane. This gives a sense of depth to the work, and brings equal time calmness to the work as not everything is in focus and attracts attention.
I would describe the colours as beige/taupe with a hint of pink in it.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully in the kitchen, dining room or just above the sofa as a wall decoration! (Of course also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a waiting room, meeting room, office or practice room!)
