Botanica is a collection of portraits of flowers photographed in black and white then subtly coloured to enhance and transform them. 

This series symbolises a moment of peaceful solitude in a world that is becoming increasingly complex, creating a quiet space away from the chaos of everyday life, like a secret garden the artist is quietly cultivating. 

Adopting the same technique as for her portraits of people, Vee Speers photographs the flowers in black and white, then subtly colours them to enhance and transform them. The portraits feel ethereal through their fresh new hues, not natural enough to be the mirror of our reality, but animated by a powerful breath of new life.​
