These unique floral images are cyanotypes (iron-blue prints) depicting plants from Tina Trumpp’s own garden. Some motifs were carefully dried, while others were exposed directly to sunlight—a historical photographic process that lends the forms a poetic and timeless quality in deep shades of blue.
Motif dimensions: 18.8 × 13.8 × 0.2 cm
Framed with museum-quality glass and a mat: 34.6 × 27.6 × 3 cm
In the fall of 2024, Tina found two weak young hedgehogs that wouldn’t have survived the winter without help. Luna and Oskar weighed only about 280 grams. With a lot of patience and care, she nursed them back to health until they reached about 900 grams, at which point they were released back into the wild in May—in Tina’s own garden:
While the two hedgehogs were hibernating, Tina transformed her garden into a little natural paradise. The lawn gave way to hardy, native perennials that can withstand even the summer heat. Today, six to eight hedgehogs live there, including Luna and Oskar, who return every evening. At the same time, numerous butterflies have returned, turning this place into a vibrant, diverse habitat.
These images of flowers thus convey not only an aesthetic story, but also a personal one that is closely connected to nature.
