Synopsis
In this new body of works, Adou invites the viewer to look at their feet and become reacquainted with nature. Like the eponymous collection by Walt Whitman, Adou's Leaves of Grass is an exaltation of the natural world and its interrelationship with humans. Adou's photographs encourage the viewer to slow down their pace and gaze for a moment at the unexpected beauty growing from the mud. Disappointed by present-day society, and the rapid changes it encounters, the artist offers another possible path: a return to our roots, to the origins of life, and the power of nature.
