‘First Set’ 10-1_’Biological scale’ The Biological Scale deals with the orchid as a living organism. Many people consider orchids to be pure beauty and therefore embody aesthetic desire.

The ‘First set’ of pictures represents the idea to create new artificial surroundings for the orchid and to record the way it changes its appearance by changing color and shape, creating different masks in relationship to new environments it is placed in, such as water and ink.

This reflects the way organisms can adapt and change their look in order to survive. The series of photographs were taken during orchid’s exposure to different conditions and make up the ‘first set’ of pictures that examine the adaptation process. The same species of orchid was used to explore how the same kind of organism can adapt and appear differently. First, the orchids’ context was changing through different light sources projected from various angles. Finally, water and ink were introduce as new artificial conditions and the results were documented.
