Dendrophilia – Strelitzia nicolai, Tillandsia alba, and black calla lilies. “As the body is fetishized, so is the earth, with nature endlessly acquiescing to our voracious appetites and desires. It is in turn venerated and profaned, but never seen as it truly is—a site of unity where every organism is interwoven into the ecological matrix from which it is expressed.” Excerpt from the essay “The Libidinal Ecology” in Purple #36 by Anfisa Vrubel @anfisa_vrubel “This portfolio of bondage photography—using vines, thorns, flowers and plants to bound bodies—was shot for the issue #36 of @purplefashionmagazine . The series speaks of our relation to nature and our bodies. Ultimately, we are all bound to nature.”
