BY JACLYN TRUSS The Secret Garden Elena Leontiou never liked flowers, but, after a visit to the botanical gardens in Thailand, she was mesmerized by the delicate beauty of the flourishing flora; she was instantly inspired to create a similar digital garden with her own unique touch. “My Instagram gallery is a magical garden, my secret place to hide all my emotions - a digital representation of myself,” says Leontiou, “The capture of every flower in my gallery is attached to an important personal moment. Some pictures are inspired by the loss of loved persons of mine, some by the end of an affair, and others represent joyful feelings. Every photo is accompanied by a caption quote which represents these feelings.” @elen714 225 inspadesmag.com
