ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is an abstract image from the collection "Plants". This plant, although it seems to be dry and dead, is still alive. Nature never ceases to amaze me every day. I love nature and like to play with the different shapes, lines and textures I can find there. I try to create visually attractive images from nature, to remind people how important nature is to all of us, in order to take care of it and preserve it. I hope to achieve my goal and inspire other people to do what they can to the best of their ability, for my children and the generations to come.
