Exploded Flowers is a photo series by artist Fong Qi Wei that was awarded second place at the International Photography Awards way back in 2012.

These beautiful photos show several varieties of flowers dissected into individual components, much like exploding fireworks. Such a simple concept, yet so beautiful and inspiring!
