Chlorophyll printing is an alternative photographic process where photographic images are developed on natural leaves through the action of photosynthesis. This organic technique does not use chemicals since the photographs are exposed directly to the sunlight on plants or trees leaves. I wanted the interaction of the portraits to have a time limit. I wanted to initially preserve them but the medium does not lend itself to the permanent.
