Everything stands in order: roses are for mother, fists are for strangers.

But after that, it gets complicated:
there are more capitols than the countries in the world, everything has its limits,
love ends,
mind wanders aimlessly

colours blend with the distance my dog seems to be smiling
to all the eyes that look like yours.

“This project was created solely by me, photographs of my own compositions, yet it was influenced by my mother’s positive outlook. I collect the sticks and flowers, arrange them patiently and in silence. The sticks snap, the flowers bend and die, rubber bands break, tape fails to hold the composition, things fall apart even before I manage to take a picture. I sit there, painstakingly working on each composition, and I never forget who told me to believe that everything is possible. I would love to show my mum all the capitols of the world and more. Until I am able to do this I will continue to share with her my postcards and these images of flowers I collect along the way. Roses for Mother.” Dominik Tarabański
