Signature Series – Photographic Edition print by Francesca Owen

Chrysanthemum flower underwater

“I have always been drawn to capturing florals and their beauty – whether focusing on their petals with the morning dew on a rose or capturing them by the ocean and seeing the interplay between the soft flower and the tides of the ocean.

In this body of work, I chose to take that exploration deeper, by immersing these blooms underwater. Beneath the surface, they transform and take on another persona. No longer passive subjects, they became performers: like synchronized swimmers, their petals glistening like glitter in the refracted light. Suspended in water, they take on a life of their own, adopting unique characteristics as they sway, float, and unfold.

This series captures the transformation of flowers beneath the surface. It’s about nature’s beauty not just in stillness, but in motion not just in form, but in becoming”.
