10 | Enchanted Beauty | Robyn Barron | $395 | Digital photograph taken in studio with Tungsten lights on my iPhone.

From my series ‘The Secret Garden’ this image of a Paeony explores the hidden spaces – both physical and emotional – that we retreat to in order to rediscover ourselves. Inspired by the symbolism of overgrown gardens and forgotten corners, this work becomes a metaphor for inner growth, healing and the wild beauty of what lies beneath the surface.
