This project embraces the natural process of decay, recognising its beauty and significance. Through texture and transformation, it seeks to highlight the overlooked value of plants, animals, and objects beyond their 'prime,' offering them a renewed purpose and appreciation.

A Celebration ofGrowth and Decay

Stemming this project from the every day, jasmin monitored average items which are deemed beautiful when at full health and try and preserve that aesthetic through their turning point of  'disgusting'. through photography the focus was placed on the rustic detail of flowers and fruit, particularly looking at their textures.

As the project neared its conclusion, Jasmin created a life-sized cabinet to encapsulate her discoveries of an ecosystem. Blending life and death through a fine art approach, she explored the delicate balance of habitats, incorporating both natural elements and man-made objects. A mirror at the back of the cabinet invites viewers to reflect on their own presence and impact within this 'natural' environment.

Remnants & Reverence
A Wreath of the Departed

As a poignant conclusion to this project, Jasmin crafted an intricate wreath from dismembered bird remains, evoking the solemn beauty of funeral flower arrangements. To preserve this moment, she created a large darkroom collage, nailing photographs to the very board where the image was taken—embedding both pain and beauty within its surface.
