anne ten donkelaar captures delicate flower arrangement submerged underwater

artists and product designer anne ten donkelaar‘s latest project, ‘underwater ballet’, is an ethereal photo series featuring delicately arranged flowers that have been submerged in water. the artist explains that the flowers ‘float gracefully around in the cold water, capturing a silent image of a spirited dance.’

having perviously worked with cut-out flower arrangements, anne ten donkelaar’s ‘flower construction‘ series further develops into an innovative approach to photography. in her latest ‘underwater ballet’ series, each posed bouquet of flowers is tied down using a thin, colored rope, which is sunk by a small metal trinket. the scene results in an elegant choreography of swaying flowers captured in a single photograph.
