The Botanical Opticals collection is an ongoing project based on Tim's recent exploration of shooting botanical time-lapse videos of flowers blooming. Our perception of real-time is governed by what we can see actually happening before us. However many natural phenomena, such as plants growing or flowers blooming, happen too slowly for us to notice these transformations. Time-lapse telescopes a lengthy passage of time to show us what is happening and to become mindful of a natural world that is slowly and continually changing all around us.

These symmetrical floral mandala patterns promote a sense of relaxation and wellbeing. The mandala is traditionally used in Buddhism and Hinduism to represent the universe. It is also Carl Jung’s chosen archetype for the whole self. An archetype in the deeper layer of our unconscious Jung called the ‘Collective Unconscious’. The mandala resonates with spiritual and historical connection, and represents both the individual’s whole self and our universal collective unconscious. It is a beautiful symbol to meditate with and focus on, and looks great on a wall.
