This handmade zine, created using the cyanotype process, captures botanical forms through sunlight, each image a quiet collaboration between nature, time, and light. The cover features a newly sprouted seedling, not only as a symbol of growth, but as a metaphor for the photographic act itself: each exposure, a kind of emergence. Cyanotype, with its deep indigo hues and sun developed impressions, allows the plant to become more than subject; it becomes co creator. The work invites the viewer to experience image making as a slow, poetic ritual, where art does not just observe nature but grows with it.
