The Terroni Series

The Terroni Series of floral images explores the perfect and intricate designs contained in the world of flowers. With a focus on the intricacies, graceful contours, and ethereal qualities inherent in each subject, these images go beyond the boundaries of traditional flower representation to investigate the abstract dimensions of nature’s artistry.

By isolating the essential forms and patterns within each blossom, an innate elegance and simplicity are revealed in perfect form. Each photograph is intended as a composition celebrating nature’s floral masterpieces of design.

The photographs in the series were taken over time at the Terroni Restaurant, a once vibrant restaurant located in the art corridor of downtown Los Angeles. Though the restaurant has since closed its doors, the ethereal beauty depicted in the images of the floral displays that once graced the premises speak of its charm … and its memory lives on in these photographs.
