The Netherlands is surely no tropical land and most certainly not a natural habitat to a palm tree. Nevertheless, people around here do decorate their gardens with it. One can only wonder what are the reasons behind such a choice. Inspired by early colonial journeys of botanists, I myself went after the search of a palm tree in Dutch landscape. My intention as a photographer was to present these palms in the context of their growing environment, so the viewer could make his own interpretations. For this reason I employed rather objective way of photographing - keeping the distance from the subject and framing it in a way that it gives the most information of its habitat. I see this project as a continuation of my interest in mundane, everyday surroundings, which in today’s pace of living we take as granted and too obvious to question.
