Come see real flowers of this painful world. Rooted in the research behind The Imperfect Atlas, this series looks at flowers as both natural objects and cultural symbols. It explores the shifting line between documenting reality, imagining new worlds, and noticing the fragile state of our environment. Photographed against plain sheets of paper/books/notebooks, each flower sits somewhere between science and art. Removed from its original surroundings, it still carries signs of where it came from and how it travelled through global trade, how the environment shaped it, and how we project ideas of beauty onto it. By observing the flowers closely and repeatedly, we witness the small changes each bloom goes through. Every image becomes a piece of a larger ecological story, revealing how fragility, movement, and adaptation can be seen in a single stem. In this way, the flowers act as quiet witnesses to a world that is constantly changing. Check out @come_see_real_flowers

What We Will Become is a photographic exploration of the faces of workers across France, photographed within the sites and gestures that define their daily labour and craft.  Inspired by the seminal photographer August Sander who created a monumental body of work, “The People of the Twentieth Century”, that attempted to map German society through an extensive series of portraits, recording the powerful changes made through the technological advances of his time. Now with AI right in front of us, Craft and Labour will become something very different,  With the use of repetition, return, and precise observation, a contemporary typology develops, as well as an acknowledgement of both vulnerability and continuity, this series works as an act of recognition, foregrounding the presence of those whose contributions quietly sustain the fabric of the city in a world where AI, robotics and humans intersect. An archive of our present in transition. 1. Art History Student 2. International Business Student 3. Shop owner 4. Delivery worker Much more to come

“The corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue… what’s that? It’s a patch of nowhere that hides, like similar patches of nowhere, in all cities everywhere. It’s the space of Edward Hopper. It’s the real estate equivalent of a styrofoam packing peanut. It’s blank, and it’s in this blankness that we circle back to Warhol and repetition and the aesthetic experience we enjoy when we look from one Marilyn to the next to see which screened face has what kind of silkscreen printing error.” - Peter Funch (@peterfunch )

For 9 years, photographer @peterfunch took the same photo at the same time on the same NYC corner. Over time, the same faces reappeared. The same clothes, the same expressions, the same routines. The series revealed how routine shapes all of us 🤯 [via @plastik ]

The Imperfect Atlas, featured in Marie Claire Italia (February 2026 issue) “This assault on the mountains has led to a model based on quantity and turnover rather than quality. The result is a landscape where woods continue to be cut, animals no longer know where to go, and the silence is replaced by loudspeakers and high-altitude gourmet restaurants. We are consuming the very ‘epic’ of the mountains, transforming them into a playground that ignores biological limits. As the snow recedes, the community is left to rediscover an identity that goes beyond the ski slopes, inventing new ways to live alongside these peaks rather than simply exploiting them.”# Thank you @emanuela_mirabelli @marieclaireitalia @v1gallery @tbwbooks
