To encapsulate & IMMORTALIZE

the SAVAGE form of BOTANICS,

the ephemeral GRACE of the flowers;

a BEAUTY that fades away.

Herbarium EXPEDICIÓN BOTÁNICA developed through ritualized collection during travel, where botanical specimens are gathered, documented, & preserved alongside contextual materials such as newspapers, locations, & dates. 

Across cities and over the years, I have documented the passage of time through the pairing of daily newspapers and floral bouquets. It is a visual study in contrasts: the harshness of a fractured world placed beside the delicate, raw beauty of nature.

This archive functions as both a visual and anthropological record of FLORA MIGRANTE & TRANSIENT environments. Surrounded by war, economic recession, and political turmoil, the joyful bloom of a flower becomes a sanctuary. It is an act of quiet rebellion and resistance against the despair of our times. It stands as a symbol of hope a politically engaged flower.
