The process of capturing on film lays bare the essential acts of plants. Photosynthesis, breaking down water with light, and producing sugar with heat and carbon dioxide. Light hitting the leaves brings about a reaction reflected in the film. Light forms latent images, transformed into visible ones through heat and a catalyst.

Photography, in essence, is akin to photosynthesis. It's a transcription of the vitality of trees created in the dark using light, such as moonlight or neon lights. These photographs crafted in the darkness are a transference of the life force inherent in trees.on film plain the essential acts of plants.
