IF YOU GO, ALL THE PLANTS WILL DIE
Fred Mitchell
If You Go, All the Plants Will Die explores failed relationships through dead plants. While living in Las Vegas and suffering through the stages of a deteriorating relationship, Fred Mitchell became hyper-aware of dying plants all around, mirroring and mocking his private life. He decided to embrace the absurdity and began documenting the haunting flora both in nature and in the studio.
