Evolution

  • Photographer
    Mehdi Babadi, Iran

Pulling out and extracting new meaning and function from objects (plants) is the main concept of this collection. An attempt has been made to make the normal form of objects undergo a reconstruction in order to face a new object and a new role of the object. Using the symbolic potential of plants to create an association of interpretation and integration. Whatever the result is, it moves forward, like evolution, which ensures their survival. Plants that have not remained passive to be picked and surrendered to human will. They can defend themselves, be tough, joke, challenge and dance.
