Harrison Public Library presents “Wilt & Bloom” photographs by Juliette Moore
“Wilt & Bloom,” a photography exhibit by Juliette Moore, can be viewed at the Harrison Public Library from April 6-May 3. Meet the Artist on April 12 from 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Artist’s Statement: This photography exhibit explores the cycle of life and death through flowers, capturing their beauty as they wilt and bloom. Different flowers and photographs represent different human experiences and emotions. Different types of flowers are photographed at different stages of bloom and decay. Fresh, vibrant flowers symbolize positive emotions, while wilting flowers convey sadness and depression. Through my photographs, I hope the viewer recognizes how life and death are both intertwined. I also hope the viewer can reflect on their own experiences with life and death and find a sense of peace in the images.
