Yesterday’s Flowers
Yesterday’s Flowers is a series of photographs of flowers that were used in the family home in South India for daily prayers. Fresh flowers adorn and shower the Hindu gods during the daily puja rituals and remain near the idols all day. Having served their function, dried and spent, the flowers are swept up early the next morning before the new day’s prayers are chanted. Having observed these rituals for many years, I began photographing these floral remnants of prayer as a way to honor and appreciate them during this final stage of their sacred journey.
