Photography - issue #2
Seeds come in as many different shapes, sizes and designs as the plants they are to become. They float, they fly, they stick and they burst. A photographic exploration of the structures and dispersal of seeds.
This feature from Where the Leaves Fall #2 has been selected for Saving Seed - an OmVed Gardens exhibition. #SavingSeedByOmVed
