Exploded flowers

These exploded flowers have me mesmerized this morning. Photographer Qi Wei wondered what flowers would look like if they were disassembled. "The act of disassembly lays bare the various shapes and textures of the flowers, and what is interesting to me is how much more expanded some flowers can get when they are disassembled," he says.

Fun fact: The surface area of a rose is larger than the surface area of a sunflower! Who knew? Aren't these photos lovely? What's your favorite flower, friends? xoxo

P.S. His floral paintings are amazing too! :)
