"Be Bold! You are beautiful!" is macro photo of moss sporophyte with the raindrops strung on it like beads, captured in the forest of Sweden.
Tiny, but strong! Rarely noticed but worth seeing and known for its beauty and meaning for the ecosystem. It is all about moss and the undersized northern nature to which this work is dedicated.
As my roots lie in the Arctic region of Chukotka, in the far north of Russia, the undersized northern nature holds a special place in my heart and in my art. Such tiny marvels as mosses and lichens often stay overlooked by many, while their role in our ecosystem is incredibly significant. Like true pioneers, they kickstart the cycle of life on barren surfaces and nurture the soil for future growth. Mosses and lichens produce oxygen even in winter, when the rest of nature is resting. My photos aim to show people the beauty of these tiny heroes, emphasising that every entity, no matter how small, holds great value in the grand tapestry of life.
