Life of Tulip

  • Photographer
    Jing "Joy" Hu, United States

This photo series demonstrates the life of Tulip as a metaphor to the
different stages of human life - from Childhood (in bud) to maturity
(blossom). It also portrays the coming together of people and their
parting ways, till the time one is left alone and withered.

However, as the cycles of life mark only a pause and not the end, the
withered tulip goes to ground to nurture life again. And, it's a new
beginning.
