During the pandemic I watched a documentary on the Mayflies. Their story is incredible and touched me in a profound way. These insects hatch and live for one, single day. They have one day and one night to find a mate, and do their business before dying. Their offspring will take an entire year before it’s their turn to dance, for just one night. What a beautiful reminder to not let life pass us by. I wanted to capture the movement, the fluttering beauty of these little winged wonders during their last dance.
