My photograph explores artificiality and human connection to nature. Nature should be preserved and cared for, but sometimes, if it is not beautiful enough or not flashy enough, people don’t care. The flower should be beautiful enough but sometimes it is not. Humans do not always care about nature unless it is truly wondrous. By adding an artificial glow to the flowers, they become more interesting and beautiful but are now not real. My photograph captures this and comments on our artificial world.
