Photographer's Statement:

Through the vibrant smells of the White Jasmine, I was entranced to freeze a moment in time. The White Jasmine is a common growing flower, which also inspired me to capture this photo. The evolution and growing of this plant mirrors that of society. There is only one way to go, up. This plant and photo has inspired me to grow in my faith and as a person. Like our forests, we grow and evolve and create breathtaking scenes. That breathtaking scene for us, is this cool thing we call life.
