Dancing Saffron

Saffron flower is a messenger of spring, the symbol of new life that is born after a long, dark and cold winter. These photo is an ode to the organic, elemental life, as well as an ode to the cycle of life. To emphasize its delicate and fragile structure, I photographed it submerged in the water.
