Large-scale photographs of biological specimens by Julya Hajnoczky and miniature treasure boxes of reconstructed flowers by Katrina Vera Wong reflect on life and death, love and loss, and the beauty and fragility of existence. Hajnoczky places natural forms such as moss, bones and feathers on a high-resolution scanner to produce meticulously detailed images, while Wong pieces together parts of pressed or dried flowers, particularly orchids, to create hybrids that she calls “Frankenflora.”
