Variegation explores the hidden energy of plant life after dark, imagining a world where human vision has evolved to witness the nocturnal processes unfolding within foliage. As daylight disappears and photosynthesis comes to an end, plants shift into respiration, slowly burning the sugars gathered during the day while continuing their cycle of growth beneath the cover of night.
Through intense colour manipulation, the series transforms familiar botanical forms into luminous structures charged with stored energy. The colours act as visual interpretations of light absorption, chlorophyll activity, and the conversion of energy taking place within the plant itself. Leaves and stems become glowing networks of circulation and exchange, revealing an unseen landscape operating silently in darkness.
