Through her work, Mai wishes to forever change the way people look at flowers: from flowers, as common and ordinary products of nature, to flowers as unique and wonderful miracles of this Earth. Mai Yap’s exquisite technique utilizes “extreme close-ups” which compels the viewer to observe their powerful colors and exuberant shapes in great detail. They aim to elicit the awe of the beholder, fully shocking the senses and stirring deep emotions in the subconscious mind. These magnificent but delicate flowers reminds us how fragile our planet is and the urgency to protect it.
