PRESERVED PRESENCE

Flowers placed on a scanner glass transition from living objects to preserved presence. They become digital relics, fixed by light and time. Unlike a camera, a scanner does not observe—it touches; it captures not a moment, but a process, turning life into a flat, slowly readable image. This work explores the boundaries between the living and the digital, nature and technology, presence and memory. Through the simple interaction of light, glass, and organic material, a space emerges where beauty is captured, but is already devoid of breath—the moment between life and archive.
