Deconstructed Ficus Leaf
'Deconstructed Ficus Leaf' was created from a few strips of a macro photograph of a ficus leaf. At this time my native country is facing an unprecedented wave of Corona Virus. There is a shortage of wood for funerals in many cities, and gravediggers are working overtime. The strips in this image represent the logs of wood used in traditional funerals. The light in the middle represent the souls of those who have died at this time. The arrangement of the strips of the leaf represents the chaos surrounding cremations and burials. The whole image is a tribute to a beloved uncle who did not make it, and whom I did manage to see in the beginning of the pandemic. We had lunch together, and a conversation in which all the dots did not add up. My uncle insisted in hobbling all the way to the elevator to say goodbye. I knew I would never see him again.
