Looking straight up into the canopy of a cherry blossom tree in full bloom at Yeouido, Seoul, the entire frame dissolves into a cloud of white and pale pink petals against a deep, cloudless April evening sky. The dark branches create an organic network of lines radiating outward like veins, each loaded with dense clusters of five-petaled flowers. The perspective eliminates all context except the tree and the sky, transforming the image into something almost cellular or cosmic in its pattern. Cherry blossom season in Seoul lasts barely a week, usually arriving in early April, and Yeouido's famous boulevard becomes a tunnel of pink-white flowers that the entire city turns out to see. Shooting straight upward captures a perspective that most visitors miss while photographing at eye level, revealing the extraordinary density of blossoms that make Korean cherry trees, mostly Yoshino variety, appear to be made entirely of flowers during their brief peak.
