The flowers in this still life by Elspeth Diederix are presented as being true to nature. But what if nature itself is no longer true to nature?

This work is part of Diederix’s Florals series, which deals with the human desire to control nature. By enhancing the flowers in the picture with additional colour and details, she raises questions about biotechnology and genetic engineering.
