Photographer Markus Bollen is fascinated by blossoms' delicate structure and the wonderful lines of the veins in each petal. Markus Bollen photographed the magnolia at a moment when the bush had already shed its petals. The result is a wonderful symbol of abundance, of the growth and decay of nature. Even these wonderful petals, which no human could create, are thrown to the ground after a brief bloom and decompose into new earth. A symbol of the transience of even beauty.
