Dreamy Flowers Take Center Stage in the Dark Night Photography Series

The dreamy works that center around seasonal blooms at their best stage, have a soothing effect and allow the viewer to dive into the deeper recess of the imagination.

"We associate color with how we perceive the world around us, memories, and emotion," the artist says. 'Oftentimes, these elements can act as a gentle escape into something more soothing."

Sprouted From Personal Grief and Loss

Sophia Ahamed, also known for her role as design director at the Vancouver-based agency Monograph & Co says that the Dark Night photography series sprouted from her personal grief and loss, as can be noticed in the melancholic theme of her works. From her sadness, incredible depth has bloomed.

"If I’ve learned anything on this journey, from a personal lens,” says Sophia Ahamed, “it’s that there’s a lot to come from doing difficult things and going through difficult things."
