TITLE: Bioemulation

Flower arrangements from dental photography.
Source material from dentist Panos Bazos.
Bazos is a pioneer in developing specialised filters and flash arrangements in dental photography and his source material were the inspiration and appropriation for this series creating flower-like arrangements with various versions of micro images of teeth.
His ‘bioemulation’ approach inspired and based on natural processes in this series fuses the figurative with the literal.
