"Sacred Union" is a collection of 101 self portraits with plants that was born on its own, sparked by my inner journey of meeting my true self and a bundle of dried purple flowers. The images were coming through seeking expression and I allowed/translated them into being. My body, a vessel, the plants complementing its shape and form. Camera, tripod, remote, me, no clothes, white wall, nature, love, unity, timelessness, ease, grace, simplicity. Every plant is unique, every image came with its own poem, all barely edited, au naturel.

Enjoy the fruits of this creative flow and the inspired lines that came with them - a result of me sitting with myself, bringing all kinds of random weeds to my apartment, taking photos and embracing/uniting/harmonizing all seeming opposites within.

With love, Ava ♥

P.S. You can use the collection as an oracle - see what image draws you and read the poem that goes with it ;-)
