Sunken Beauty – The Fragility of Bloom

flowers are immersed in liquid and sometimes even frozen in crystal. Their shapes dissolve, become distorted or almost disappear — a visual meditation on transience. Some images are alive with color and life, while others are still behind a veil of ice.

About Artist

August Langhout

My creative work are images from nature, city's, structures and playgrounds. Most times my images are colorful and they can be realistic or also abstract. The palpable atmosphere of the places is ‘painted’ with my camera  and can be seen in layers, colours, reflections, movements and expressions. My approach is often to turn the known in the unknown so that people look at it again and in a different way. I think originality is important and am trying to catch that in my work
