"Simplicity in a rural atmosphere with pink hue: Together until we are blown out" is a macro photo of two fluff balls of common dandelions. These two simple fluff balls are fully opened and waiting for a touch of wind, to spread in that way, the seeds attached to the fluff.
To me, this image radiates something of tranquillity and simplicity but also fragility and impermanence, the final stage of these flowers. Just a whiff of wind and it's done with these balls of fluff. An eye-catcher that exudes a serene and natural atmosphere while also trying to tell a story about impermanence and love. When taking this picture, I chose a depth of field that ensures that the background is almost even and the front fluff of both dandelions are in focus. This gives a sense of depth to the work, but it also adds even more calmness to the photo.
