To Cherish the Perishable was an exhibition, showcased at Ballarat International Foto Biennale, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, from 23 August–19 October 2025.

In this series, I wrap fresh flowers in bubble wrap—a gesture of care, an instinct to protect what I cherish. The work explores the tension between preservation and interference, asking whether our desire to hold onto beauty and life is a form of love or control. Flowers are fleeting; bubble wrap offers a false promise of permanence. Through this abstract act, I reflect on the fragility of what we treasure and question whether the things we love truly need saving—or if the need is ours alone.
