These two series just seem to go together…

Deconstruction: The photo series Exploded Flowers by Singapore photographer Fong Qi Wei showcases with beautiful simplicity the complexities of nature.

Reconstruction: Harm Less by Australian creative Sonia Rentsch depicts fragments of nature pieced together to form the shapes various man-made weapons.

Both beautifully executed.

“O Oysters,” said the Carpenter,
“You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?’
But answer came there none–
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one.
– Lewis Carroll
