A child reaches upward, offering a small cluster of red flowers toward a field of surveillance cameras that rise from the ground like tall, mechanical stems. The cameras replace petals, transforming observation into something cultivated, grown, and normalised. In Surveillance Flowers, Mr Phantom explores how constant monitoring has become embedded into everyday life, no longer imposed through force but absorbed into the environment itself. The gesture of offering is neither rebellion nor surrender, but quiet acceptance, a recognition of being seen. The contrast between organic life and mechanical presence highlights the tension between innocence and systems that watch without participating.
