Fragility, Strength and Beauty

  • Photographer
    Julia Hofmann, Germany
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

The series “Fragility, strength and beauty” is about my mind. A mind which is often living in the past or the future, dwelling on things that happened, worrying about what might be. If I don’t pay attention, I don’t recognise that I am seldom in the present, and that the present is influenced by the mind. My photographs of flowers, some of them almost non-recognisable, reflect this idea. With multi-exposure, and painting on the negative, I visualise a mind which is “overpainting” the present with traces from the past and future.
