The hand‑painted glass creates a translucent, atmospheric ground into which real botanical elements and a butterfly are physically set. This fusion of painted surface and tangible materials produces a hybrid visual space that gently unsettles the viewer, hovering between painting, sculpture and photography. The work plays with perception and materiality, prompting the eye to question what is constructed and what is natural. Through this deliberate… disruption, and through the discipline of a single‑shot process, the piece becomes an exploration of how a world can be built in front of the lens, rather than an image designed merely to please.
Arising from a lifelong fascination with photography, Marjon Trap employs an evocative eye and meticulous technique. She confesses to a repeated process of capturing and refining 'technically complex images' and rearranging using tweezers until the composition reveals its best self. Trap's fascination with the duality of fragility and glory is manifested in her exploration of aging flowers, challenging our notions of beauty and imperfection. Her frame teems with the 'harmonic dissonance' of nature's life cycle, capturing the ethereal beauty of imperfection and the transience of life.
