The Spirit of Flowers gathers ten celebrated photographers from across the globe to meditate on one timeless subject: the flower. More than just petals and stems, these images trace the cultural weight and quiet beauty of blooms in all their forms – symbols of love, resilience, fragility, and rebirth
We gathered ten artists around the world with a task, to capture flowers through their own lens. The Spirit of Flowers is an online exhibition and celebration of one of nature’s most timeless subjects: the flower. Bringing together ten international photographers, the project explores the universal beauty, symbolism, and emotional resonance of flowers through a variety of artistic visions. “The synergy within this group has been nothing short of magical,” reflects the exhibition’s curator, Anthony Tong, highlighting the creative energy that emerges when such distinctive talents come together.
Choosing the photographers for this project was, according to Tong, “one of the most exciting parts of the process. Each one was selected for their incredible talent, distinct style, and unique way of seeing the world.” Each artist brings a singular perspective to the exhibition, transforming familiar flora into images that are at once personal, cultural, and universal. The works invite viewers to experience flowers not merely as decorative objects, but as symbols of love, resilience, fragility, rebirth, and the passage of time.
Viewers move through a visual landscape where each photograph builds upon the last, creating a dialogue between the photographers. Some images are able to reveal the intricate details of petals and stems through fashion, while others interpret flowers in abstract or conceptual ways, prompting reflection on the layers of meaning that flowers hold across cultures and human experience.
“My biggest hope is that viewers walk away with a sense of wonder, a renewed appreciation for the beauty, complexity, and symbolism of flowers,” the curator notes. The exhibition seeks to go beyond mere visual allure; it is about the emotions, stories, and ideas that flowers evoke. Flowers mean different things to different people, love, beauty, life, loss, or even mortality, and this portfolio invites the audience to encounter them through these many lenses.
By bringing together ten visionary photographers and presenting their works in a thoughtfully curated, immersive space, The Spirit of Flowers offers a unique opportunity to celebrate nature’s artistry, inspire reflection, and awaken a sense of wonder at the profound beauty and cultural significance of flowers.
The Buffacow – Entwined
“Having been born in Hong Kong, I explore the forms and expressions of flowers through the reflections in the city’s architecture. I then use visual techniques to weave the entire story together.”
Holly Mccandles – Not Your Ordinary
“For me, flowers are tied to early memories, colours that felt louder, textures that felt new, and moments of play that didn’t require structure. That personal nostalgia shaped the way I interpreted them here.”
Esra Sam – Dust In The Wind
“In my culture – and in my family – flowers are always connected to important moments: love, beginnings and loss. I grew up seeing how flowers can hold emotions without saying a word. That silence and intensity are things I relate to deeply.”
Alexander Yeung – Wheel Of Fortune
“Just like the life of a flower — from a tiny seed that gradually grows and blooms intos omething beautiful, to the moment it fades and withers away. This entire process mirrors the human experience of birth, aging, and death — an endless cycle.”
Chen Yung Hua – Petals and Forms
“The fleeting moments of the body in dance endlessly captivate me, with gestures that seem to trace patterns in the air. The garments, like delicate petals, drape over and embrace the body, gradually merging into a seamless whole.”
Gregory Chong – Together
“My mother loved a flower called Iris, so our home was always filled with them. To me, flowers weren’t just decorative—they were part of my environment, part of my sense of home. And in my own cultural background, flowers often represent resilience and spirit. I never consciously insert these ideas into my work, but they naturally influence the way I see, photograph, and reinterpret flowers.”
Simon C – Luna
“[The inspiration behind my concept is] girls and desire: to me, flowers are containers of desire, just like people.”
Ryan Tandya – Withering Heights
“I’ve always been drawn to the idea of wearing flowers, so we wanted to explore how they could be carried or rest on the body while keeping the images very literal and a little unserious. […]
One of the pictures has a model posing with a big congratulatory flower board, which is a very Indonesian thing.”
Filip Koludrovic – Garden of Eden
“Flowers for me are captivating and opulent and dangerous, all those bright colours and the way they can hypnotise you with beauty. I remember also my childhood and the garden we had full of flowers, but also the way that they slowly die when you pick them just to make your room nicer. With all of that I am somehow sure I have some kind of personal interpretation behind this work.”
Poyenchen – Untitled
“My mother studied floral arrangement when I was young, and I always found it fascinating to watch from nearby. Later in life, I became very close to a florist. We shared not only life but the flowers she created. Whenever she showed me something beautiful and indescribable, it brought me back to the feeling I had when I first started photographing. That rush is still the fuel.”
