every spring the de young museum hosts an exhibit of floral designs that serve as interpretations of assigned works of art. this was my third year to attend. in the past i attempted to credit as many designers as possible, but this time around, i was really more hit and miss on that account. the museum was very crowded and. arrangement detail was uppermost on my mind. . .apologies to the designers.

— Here is a translated description in English:
How often do we allow ourselves to simply stop and look at familiar things with fresh eyes? To notice details that were previously unseen? Have you ever observed that with careful examination, more and more nuances reveal themselves with each glance?
There are so many objects around us, yet we would struggle to provide a comprehensive description of even the most frequently used ones. So many people surround us, and yet we have forgotten how those we love and spend so much time with truly look… We change things, alter our appearance, switch fragrances—all just to be seen as if for the first time. To have someone notice our joys and sorrows, the rich experiences that leave their marks on our fragile bodies.
From time to time, especially in new places or moments of waiting, I consciously challenge myself to find as many details as possible in the people, objects, and structures around me. Minute by minute, layer by layer, line by line, I delight in discovering new facets of what seemed so familiar yet remained unnoticed. I turn off my gadgets and try to halt the endless stream of thoughts… And suddenly, I realize that even the wallpaper in my bedroom has multiple shades, despite my previous certainty that it was monochrome. I see three colors, different patterns, and intricate designs. With every new glance, more details emerge, details that had been carefully hidden from my awareness. Or perhaps my mind simply refused to perceive them because my life is already overflowing with information?
By returning to reality and allowing ourselves to truly observe the world around us, we not only discover new facets of it but also expand our inner world. Moreover, such mindful practices help us connect with something greater, to see the world as it truly is. And to realize that most of our problems, worries, and fears exist solely in our minds or in the boundless digital universe… Where are your concerns, where are your anxieties when you are fully present in the here and now? Our digital reality demands that we occasionally step out into the real world to reassess our priorities.
Now, take a look at this photograph. Just like me, you can discover countless facets within it—patterns, shades, and textures of this exquisite amaryllis flower. With just a little time and attention, you can see how profoundly beautiful, multifaceted, and unique nature's creations truly are. And then it becomes clear: within every flower, there is far more than just a flower...
— and the original one in Russian:
Как часто мы можем позволить себе просто остановиться и взглянуть на привычные вещи по-новому? Рассмотреть незнакомые доселе детали? Замечали ли вы, что при детальном рассмотрении с каждым взглядом открывается всё больше и больше нюансов?
Сколько предметов вокруг нас, а мы вряд ли сможем дать исчерпывающее описание даже самых часто используемых вещей. Сколько людей рядом, а мы уже и забыли, как в действительности выглядят те, кого любим, с кем проводим так много времени... Нам приходится менять вещи, изменять свой облик, менять запахи — всё ради того, чтобы кто-то мимолётно увидел нас как в первый раз. Рассмотрел наши печали и радости, наш богатый опыт, который оставляет свои следы на хрупком теле.
Время от времени, особенно в новых местах или в моменты ожидания, я сознательно ищу как можно больше деталей в окружающих меня людях, предметах, строениях. Минуту за минутой, слой за слоем, линия за линией я с восторгом открываю новые грани, которые, казалось бы, всегда были передо мной, но оставались незамеченными. Я отключаю гаджеты, стараюсь остановить бесконечный мыслительный поток… И вдруг понимаю, что даже обои в моей спальне имеют несколько оттенков, хотя я был уверен, что они однотонные. Вижу три цвета, разные узоры, орнаменты. С каждым новым взглядом открываются новые детали, которые прежде тщательно скрывались от моего сознания. Или, быть может, моё сознание само отказывалось их замечать, потому что в моей жизни и так слишком много информации?
Возвращаясь в реальность и позволяя себе замечать окружающий мир, мы не только открываем его новые грани, но и расширяем свой внутренний мир. Более того, такие познавательные практики помогают нам подключиться к чему-то большему, увидеть мир таким, какой он есть на самом деле. И осознать, что большинство наших проблем, тревог и страхов существуют лишь в нашей голове или в бесконечной виртуальной вселенной… Где все ваши заботы, где ваши тревоги, когда вы находитесь здесь и сейчас? Наша цифровая реальность требует от нас периодически выходить в окружающий мир, чтобы пересмотреть приоритеты.
А теперь взгляните на эту фотографию. Как и я, вы можете открыть в ней множество граней — множество узоров, оттенков, текстур этого прекрасного цветка амариллиса. Достаточно лишь немного времени и внимания, чтобы разглядеть, насколько глубоки, многогранны и неповторимы творения природы. И тогда станет ясно: в каждом цветке есть нечто большее, чем просто цветок...

I came from Zürich to bring this floral arrangement in the PS752 memorial in Kyiv Boryspil! All victims Rest In Peace! I am with families of the victims, they will miss us!
Visited a friends flower shop in Stockton Heath and couldn't resist taking some shots on my phone. Would love to go back with my Nikon and some lights.
