"Flowers Drink the River" is a collection of works by American photographer Pia-Paulina Gilmos. Based in a small rural town in Maine, Gilmos has intensely captured the ritualism that arises between nature and the body, and the feeling of time spent living in a community. This work captures the landscape of the small, conservative, right-wing town where she lived and the close-knit community that supported her during the first two years of her transition as a trans woman. Dew-soaked forests, bodies covered in mud and stones, burning houses, spiderwebs and moths, nocturnal animals—these intense motifs rise up as mystical scenes through the use of a large-format camera and meticulous analog techniques. Gilmos continues to create intricate miniature sculptures from flowers and spiderwebs, quietly waiting for the wind, water, light, or even a lost creature to touch them, and this patient engagement gives her photographs a unique atmosphere. As the boundaries between people, animals, and land blur in the moonlight, and fear and beauty intertwine, Gilmos uncovers a utopia lurking quietly in the depths of his familiar world.
