Series: Floral Essence #6
Giant Stapella Cactus

One of the gifts of growing plants is the time it offers for observing their quiet transformations, from the first emergence to eventual passing.


My sister Victoria gave me a cutting from this cactus, and over many months I watched it evolve.
Gradually, as the cactus revealed new shapes and gestures, it seemed to tell a quiet story about what it was and how it was changing.

Using my camera, I captured moments that brought both satisfaction and reflection, preserving memories that deepened my connection with the plant.

This series of images is part of a larger collection called Floral Essence. I’ll share more about that in the near future.
