Isamu Sawa – Without Water, 2017
““Without water plants wither and die. But even in death their beauty lingers in a moment of fleeting, serene imperfection; a delicate death, preserved forever for those who remain.” Isamu Sawa
Adopting a sophisticated macro photographic technique more commonly used in science than art, Without Water is a series of highly detailed botanical images reminiscent of the plates and sketches of the Georgian botanists. Sawa renders his subjects rich in texture and form, revealing an almost otherworldly beauty.” [via Black Eye Gallery]

Opportunistic relationship can hardly be kept constant. The acquaintance of honorable people, even at a distance, does not add flowers in times of warmth and does not change its leaves in times of cold: it continues unfading through the four seasons, becoming increasingly stable as it passes through ease and danger.
