Photographer Laurie Santoro presents images from the project Forms of Flora and Fungus, contributed to Edge of Humanity Magazine. Her artist statement describes her photographic process as a personal and therapeutic journey rooted in creative freedom. Santoro focuses on the understated and overlooked elements of the natural world, seeking out quiet corners rather than grand scenes. She highlights what is often dismissed or unseen, translating these details through her lens to reveal their inherent presence and dignity. The work reflects her intention to honor what is shy, misunderstood, or left behind, aligning the project with her broader practice of transforming subtle natural forms into subjects worthy of attention.
