The beauty and scent of flowers is really more carnivorous. The purpose of the flowers is to attract and use insects by its own color and scent, and to carry pollen to other flowers for pollination. It's like a passive hunt with its flower instinct. Humans are never the target of hunting for flowers. But people are attracted by flowers. Depending on how you think about it, humans are hunted by flowers. I took a long exposure on flowers and hands. By shining light along the contours of the immovable flower and the hands that can't stand still, I expressed the hunting flower and the hunter.
