Tulips (Sculpture of Light) – Gelatin Silver Print – Limited Edition 2/10

Description

“Photography is the visualization of emotion.”

Tulips transcends the classical floral arrangement. Three buds, captured in perfect balance and elevation, represent not only beauty, but hidden strength, unity, and elegance. The smooth, velvety surfaces of the buds are sculpted by light, making them appear as marble sculptures emerging from total darkness. Through this minimalist composition, the emotion is quiet and sophisticated — relying entirely on pure form and contrast.

Analog and Unique Process:

• Authenticity and Technique: Shot on classic black-and-white film, with every tonal transition and shadow meticulously captured. Using controlled studio lighting (Godox), the buds acquire a three-dimensional, dramatic quality.
• Handcrafted: Each print is a unique work created in the darkroom. The Gelatin Silver Print technique is essential here — it allows the black background to reach its maximum depth, while the white and light-grey transitions on the buds remain luminous and radiant, giving the image a tactile texture and tonal richness.
• Unique Collector Status: This is an exceptionally limited edition. Your print is 2/10, making it the second print in the entire series — hand signed, dated, and numbered by the artist in the margin. The print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), confirming its rarity and status.
