Connected to Nature - Photoshoot

  • Francesca Holmes

Within this project, I aim to highlight the use of plants to promote a better mental wellbeing and emotional health. From research into the detrimental effects stress can have on our physical and mental health, I have created a collection of cushions designed in harmony with nature, to relax our minds and provide a connection to the natural world, away from the stresses of everyday life. By integrating medicinal plants into my prints and incorporating them within the cushions themselves, my collection aims to provide an escape of tranquility, restfulness and comfort within the home. Fragrant medicinal plants and essential oils give the cushions a comforting aroma, helping to overcome fatigue and promote sleep and relaxation.
