(UN)NATURAL STUDY

This project was part of a residency at Atelier Circulaire. This series of photo-lithographic prints fuses imagery of venomous plants with human reproductive organs. The titles combine botanical names with anatomical terms to create fictional plant species. Inspired by the Merian botanical guide, these prints explore the historical role of women in floral painting. While women were often confined to still life, this limitation led many to excel in scientific fields such as botany, even as their artistic practices remained constrained.
