Mimesis: Blooms of Insect Wings by Photographer Seb Janiak

Paris-based photographer Seb Janiak creates incredible collages depicting the wings of different insects as flower petals in bloom, for his ongoing project entitled “Mimesis”.

“Janiak is deeply interested in the mechanisms behind mimicry in nature, where an organism develops appendages, textures, and colors that directly mirror its surroundings. This process involves a strange interaction between different organisms he describes as ‘a complex co-evolutionary mechanism involving three species: the model, the imitator and the dupe’.”
