Product Description
"Pierced Lily" is a one-off image from a collection of floral still lifes done throughout 2023.
There is a quiet, sculptural elegance to this image. Isolated against a soft background, the pierced lily stands as a study in form and fragility. The composition strips away the garden's noise to focus entirely on the delicate curves of the petals, juxtaposed with the intensity of metal safety pins. It is simple, timeless, and metaphoric.
Open edition with limited availability.

The physical impact of this print comes from the way the silver halide chemistry handles the saturation. The petals are rendered with a velvety density that digital sensors often flatten or clip. Instead of harsh transitions, the continuous tone of the analog process allows for a smooth, natural rollout in the highlights to preserve the intricate texture of the flower’s surface. The fine grain structure adds an organic warmth that enhances the tactile quality of the image and makes the bloom feel almost three-dimensional on the paper.
Due to the hand-made nature of the printing process, minor color variations may occur.

About
Marley Yanow is a lens-based artist who uses photography to explore human physicality, interpersonal connections, and her relationship with the world around her. In the years following the pandemic and throughout her time in art school, her work has turned toward the many facets and interpretations of “home,” both literal and metaphorical. After a year of isolation and social deprivation during the global lockdown, Yanow realized that home was not tied to a single, fixed place. The loss of belonging within the larger world made photography an anchor—her way of reintroducing herself to the people and places that offered a sense of home beyond her own walls. Her practice reflects this search: photographing friendships, romances, familial relationships, landscapes, objects, and at times, herself. Through these images, Yanow traces the shifting boundaries of belonging, finding meaning in the moments and connections that shape the feeling of home.

Photography gives me the power to collaborate, to go beyond myself, and to have a conversation with who or what I’m capturing.
