My work explores the boundaries between the visible and invisible, seeking to capture ephemeral moments where light and invented matter intersect in unexpected ways. Through macro photography and experimental techniques, I investigate imagined spaces that push questions of perception using scale—the microscopic and cosmic, the momentary and eternal, the material and immaterial.
Each series represents an ongoing dialogue with light. I am fascinated by how optical phenomena that typically go unnoticed can, when isolated and reframed, reveal profound aesthetic experiences that connect scientific observation with emotional resonance. My process involves both chance operations and careful observation, allowing the inherent properties of materials and light to generate forms that feel simultaneously alien and familiar.
In the prismatic series, I explore how light behaves when refracted through various media, creating spectral emanations that challenge our perception of color as fixed and stable. These images capture light not merely as illumination but as a tangible presence. The prism-like effects emerge not through digital manipulation but through direct documentation of physical optical phenomena.
The crystalline formations series investigates the boundary between solid and fluid states. By documenting the growth and transformation of various chemical compounds at a macro scale, I reveal landscapes that conjure up the geological and celestial.
My often-reduced compositions of circular shapes reference microscopic cellular structures and cosmic nebulae. I deliberately play with scale to question our position within vastly different orders of magnitude. The eye-like formations that recur throughout my work speak to themes of perception —how we see, what we miss, and how observation seemingly transforms both the observer and the observed.
I embrace controlled randomness as a generative force. By manipulating photographic processes and documenting chemical reactions, I push ideas about an artist’s intentions, balancing intent with randomness. The resulting biomorphic forms and vibrant color interactions emerge through a collaboration between artistic direction and material intelligence, challenging traditional notions of authorship and control.
Throughout all my series, I am drawn to moments of transcendence within the ordinary. The liquid light studies reveal how common materials can, under specific conditions, manifest extraordinary beauty that connects to traditions of both scientific inquiry and spiritual contemplation. These works exist in a liminal space between documentation and creation, finding aesthetic value in phenomena that might otherwise be dismissed as incidental or merely technical.
I see my work as continuing aspects of traditions established by movements ranging from Abstract Expressionism, Light and Space, Process Art, and Scientific Romanticism. Yet, rather than aligning with any single movement, I create contemporary visual language that acknowledges these influences while responding to our current moment—one characterized by rapidly evolving understandings of perception and the nature of reality itself.
Ultimately, my work invites viewers to slow down and reconsider the overlooked magic of everyday phenomena. By isolating and reframing these liminal moments—where light becomes matter, where micro mirrors macro, where science meets wonder—I create contemplative spaces that reconnect us with the profound strangeness and beauty of the physical world we inhabit yet often overlook.
