No two LEDs are alike. Like flowers, there are many different species— each germinated from the unpredictable. We use LEDs to grow flowers, and we use flowers to harness energy. Plugs and stamens. Gametangia and receptacles. Flowers have genitalia and so do too the electronic connectors— both objects of desire, (and in the spirit of animism) inside both; a soul worth capturing.

This series takes a loving and intimate look at electronic hardware – a closeness previously limited to the study of that which is considered ‘natural’. Just as each petal grows differently, each LED bulb is unique and deserving of equal tenderness.
