dreamy floral compositions against night skies explore the lines between reality and fiction

flowers and dark night skies

in her ‘dark night’ photography series, artist sophia ahamed blurs the lines of reality and imagination through the exploration of exquisite color palettes, combined with a profound love of nature. the project presents a series of floral arrangements with mesmerizing night skies as the background, bringing forward palettes that soothe and allow the viewer to dive into the deeper recess of the imagination. the resulting pieces guide viewers through an immersive journey, one filled with tranquillity and peace.

exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination

each of ahamed’s compositions is shot separately at times and then re-created to create a different sense of reality. it begs one to question the perception of what is real and what lies solely in the imagination. ‘life can offer up many opportunities for us to experience something otherworldly,’ the artist shares. ‘the key is to allow yourself to become curious enough to see it. to be present enough to see life unfolding around you,’ she adds.
