“Flowers of PHOENIX” is a concept. It has developed over time to serve certain purposes.  When the photos were being taken, they were taken at a time historic in our world.  They were also taken at a time when the artist was dealing with very difficult personal challenges in his life.  Beauty can be found in even the darkest of moments – the most difficult of times.  Some of these flowers are, in reality, scarcely more than a half an inch. However, they are still beautiful.
