Thank you for the flowers
"Thank you for the flowers" is nothing other than another piece of professor Andrea Pertoldeo's decades-long photographic research.
Man and nature express themselves best in harmony and together they grow and transform.
The documented vegetation is given as an offering of beauty that nature offers to humanity and other living beings, as thanks for being helped to flourish or left to grow in freedom.
An offer that we must never forget to accept and honor.
