By revealing the design and art in botanicals we will be able to still see the earth's wonders with photography and will be able to view what nature once looked like before it is too late. This beauty sustains us in ways that can be experienced with the details found in botanicals. My fear is that these botanicals will not be available in the future because of climate change.
