These photographs carry memories of the warmth of summer days, of carefreeness and the beauty of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Each plant in this herbarium holds a trace of a summer spent by the Adriatic - collected daily on the walk back from the beach, in a rhythm of repetition and quiet attention.
Although dried and seemingly lifeless, the plants retain within them the potential for new life. Submerged in water, their fragile and delicate structures are revealed, transforming into gentle, floating records of time. The photographs become spaces of memory, where past and present meet.
The palette is deliberately reduced and divided between warm and cool tones. Golden yellows and oranges evoke the warmth of the summer sun, while blue-green hues reflect the color of the Adriatic Sea. In this way, color becomes a carrier of emotion, extending the experience of summer beyond the moment of its passing.
