Photographer Annet van der Voort observes the transformation of flowers, especially tulips, and captures images of them in their various states of decay. Her technique for producing this remarkable artwork is completely without camera. In a complex process, van der Voort scans the wilting splendor of the flowers and, in doing so, expresses her understanding of vanitas — the philosophical idea of the transience of everything mundane.
