This project was developed as part of the Highland Culture Collective and Circus Artspace are delighted to be hosting the final presentation of the work within our temporary space on the Carsegate Road, Inverness.

Brandon Gunn’s poetic and ethereal flower images, infused with meticulous attention to detail, symbolize the universal language of hope.
