This moving volume documents a photographer’s response to the death of their partner by turning to the rhythmic work of gardening and still-life photography. Over the course of a year, the artist records the seasonal cycles of their garden, using high-detail macro photography to capture the birth, bloom, and decay of flowers. The book intersperses these vivid botanical images with reflective text on the nature of loss and the healing power of manual labor. It serves as both an aesthetic botanical survey and a profound memoir, illustrating how the cultivation of life in the soil can mirror the reconstruction of a shattered internal world.
