Outline

In a little garden that could be anywhere, the plants and insects undergo a magnificent and dizzying series of transformations. The detailed observation of these insects in all their dynamism speaks of a profound respect for life and the life force. The vivid colors against the pure-black backdrop creates a dazzling sequence of images and makes the viewer aware of the powerful transient beauty of life.
