Japanese artist, Tomoya Matsuura, has published a photo series « Withered plant » on withered plants photographed using a Scanning electron microscope (SEM). In a domain not visible to the naked eye, the decomposition and decay of plants are elegantly and poetically portrayed through vividly beautiful monochrome photographs. One seems to catch a glimpse of the mystery and dynamism connecting the cycle of life in the finely etched traces of existence in the microscopic world.
