I created the series Deflowered by photographing flowers in a dark room with long exposures, illuminating them with a phone screen playing pornographic content, resulting in floral images that reflect the carnal colors and erotic scenes of the material. Through this provocative approach, I explore porn addiction and societal desensitization, using beauty and aesthetics to spark conversation about a taboo subject.
