Watercolour and graphite
h: 56 w: 36 d: 1 (cms).
This artwork presents a botanical study of a cymbidium orchid, exploring the relationship between time, structure, and fragility. The composition combines two states of the plant: a blooming branch rendered in color and a faded, graphite silhouette that suggests memory or absence. I am particularly drawn to orchids for their complex architecture and quiet resilience. In this piece, I focused on the rhythm of the stems, the tension between strength and delicacy, and the subtle tonal transitions within the petals. Through careful observation and layered technique, I aim to preserve both the botanical accuracy of the plant and its emotional presence — a fleeting moment held still.

Graphite
h: 42 w: 29 d: 1 (cms).
This botanical graphite drawing captures the quiet strength and intricate structure of a pine cone. I was fascinated by its architectural rhythm — layer upon layer of protective scales, each carrying the memory of growth and time. Working in graphite allowed me to focus on tonal depth, texture, and the subtle play of light and shadow. The pine cone becomes more than a natural object — it transforms into a symbol of resilience, preservation, and the silent continuity of life. This artwork is part of my ongoing exploration of botanical forms as living witnesses of fragility and endurance. Through careful observation and slow drawing, I aim to reveal the dignity and quiet beauty of natural structures that are often overlooked.
