Jean-Baptiste HUYNH explores light, presence, and the quiet intensity of form through refined portraits and studies of nature. In Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, he encountered rituals where body and landscape intertwine.
The Flower Children (2008–2010), adorned with wildflowers, clay, and feathers, appear not as posed subjects but as beings in metamorphosis—human and vegetal, still and breathing. Huynh captures this fusion as communion, not costume. The flower becomes an extension of the body, a gesture of connection. Through light, silence, and balance, his images reveal a fragile symbiosis—a presence beyond folklore, where skin and petal, gaze and earth, share the same breath.
