Evil flowers

In the Evil Flowers cycle, Ellen Semen creates a fascinating world in which the delicate idyll of flowers reveals an ominous flip side. With masterful technique and an eye for detail, she contrasts the gentleness and loveliness of the floral motifs with subtle hints of danger and threat. Poisonous blossoms that seduce with their beauty symbolize secret surveillance and make us feel defenseless in the face of nature's hidden malice. Through this suspenseful staging, Semen questions the often idealized perception of flowers and nature by revealing the dark undertones of apparent harmony. "Evil Flowers" invites the viewer to look behind the surface and discover the fragile balance between beauty and threat.
