botanical diagrams translate organic complexity into legible systems of classification, naming, and structure. scientific nomenclature is distilled and articulated in pursuit of clarity, yet something is always lost in the process.

as the series progresses, that clarity destabilizes. language fragments, forms degrade, and the image begins to diffuse. the flower persists, but only as a suggestion.

the messy, often unpredictable process of paper lithography mimics the natural world it attempts to describe. ink bleeds and resists control, mirroring the limits of rational systems when confronted with organic variability. 

the work positions knowledge not as fixed or complete, but as provisional, shaped by process, perception, and entropy.
