"Fragile and fragile: Dancing hydrangea leaf" is a macro photo of a hydrangea leaf that fell from the hydrangea bush some time ago and was dried by the sun. As a result, the leaf is still intact but the beautiful vein structure has become clearly visible.
The leaf lies on a mirrored background with a structure in it. This creates an abstract reflection under the hydrangea leaves and a texture in the bottom and background. If you zoom in on the work, you can see that I chose a shallow depth of field when taking this picture. As a result, one part is in focus and the sharpness gradually decreases as you look in front of and behind this plane. This gives a sense of depth to the work, and brings equal time calmness to the work as not everything is in focus and attracts attention.
I would describe the colours myself as grey-brown pastel shades, beige / taupe and it sometimes looks like there is just a hint of (old) pink in there as well.
This piece could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the kitchen, dining room or just above the sofa! (Of course also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!)
