Banksia Media – The Symmetry Within

♦ Part of my The Symmetry Within series, this botanical portrait captures the striking natural geometry of Banksia media, a species native to Western Australia. Photographed in natural light, this image is a study in balance, texture, and quiet strength. The soft interplay of curves and symmetry reflects the slow, intentional way I approach both photography and life.

♦ This work is more than just a representation of a flower – it’s a meditation on resilience, imperfection, and finding calm in small moments.

♦ Professionally printed on fine art archival paper (230gsm) with a 5cm white printed border (not a physical mat), this piece is available framed or unframed.

♦ The Symmetry Within is a 24-image collection, with six key pieces available as prints.
