"Lilac square with a ball thistle" is a picture of the bulb of a ball thistle. The ball thistle is about to flower. As a result, the flowers on the bulb are still closed, appearing to create a beautiful spiny sphere.
When taking this photo, I chose a shallow depth of field, which means the front parts of the almost blooming flowers are sharp and the further back you look, the fainter the thistle bulb becomes. This gives a sense of depth to the work and equal time also creates a dreamy atmosphere. The background has become quite even and has a soft lilac colour due to this choice of depth of field.
This work could, for example, beautifully hang as a wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, dining room or simply above the sofa in the living room
