San Marino

A Microcosm of Nature

Priscilla Mars’s San Marino series invites viewers to experience a lush public park in the suburbs of Los Angeles through the eyes of a tiny creature. By employing extreme close-ups and shallow depth of field, Mars transforms the familiar landscape into a vibrant, abstract world. The viewer is immersed in a dense thicket of foliage, peering through leaves, flowers, and branches. This intimate perspective offers a unique and meditative view of nature, revealing the intricate details and hidden beauty often overlooked.
In a harmonious blend of word and image, discover Rosa Crepax’s poem which complements Priscilla’s photographs, offering a deeper dive into the heart of the natural world.

Everyone’s bloom

I touched her
dress in the park
branches between

us consciousness a
mess instinct sparked
alight at

once we all
parted without
breathing

sweet floral science
murdered spoiled
immortalised echoes

hesitation heard
across the void enjoy
the horizon

in feverish
duality time repeats
itself youth madness

ecstasy sacred
hunters of hallucination &
everyone blooms

Rosa Crepax
