Created from invasive gorse gathered at Waitawa Regional Park, this photograph is formed through sunlight and herbicide, resulting in a purple field mottled with green blooms. Suspended fragments drift across the surface, revealing the plant’s internal architecture. The image transforms a hostile species into something delicate, atmospheric, and quietly mesmerising.
