The book “Behind the Glass” won Bronze at the Prix de la Photographie, Paris.
The photo series “Behind the Glass” is a series of colourful one-shot non-manipulated images illustrating ecological problems through art. All the photos are for sale in limited editions.
Trees behind the glass are willing to escape, but the outside world conditions are unsuitable for their lives. The leaves of the plants touching the misted glass resemble the fingers of people willing to leave this artificial environment which is at the same time their home and the key to their life. The species that grow in greenhouses usually cannot survive in the climate where the greenhouse stands. Observing orangeries, I hope most of the Earth’s plants survive facing climate changes and global warming. People should change their attitude toward nature because ruining the ecosystem is much easier than reviving it. We would not be able to build a greenhouse for a whole planet.
The photo series is an artistic project made while writing my diploma, “Anthropocene Issues in Society and Contemporary Photography”. Observing orangeries, I hope most of the Earth’s plants survive facing climate changes and global warming. People should change their attitude toward nature because ruining the ecosystem is much easier than reviving it. I took photos in Ukraine, Poland, and Hungary.
