"FRAGILE" - a photographic installation reminds us that we only have a moment on this earth

Via the expressive means of colours and light, Bulgarian visual artist Johanna Trayanova tells us about our personal vulnerability and transience on this earth. Her latest photographic installation is entitled FRAGILE, as are the botanical flowers she captures to illustrate the transience of human nature.


Using the shape of the botanical blossom, Johanna recreates the feeling of losing a loved one when the world seems to be falling apart before your eyes. By exploring the fragility of natural elements, the author visualizes the fragility of our own soul. Are we fragile?, she asks rhetorically. And in a series of seven triptychs, she talks about the different stages of a botanical blossom: from the budding, through blooming to wilting.

The exhibition can be seen in the Sofia-based gallery Credo Bonum until September 10, 2022.
