Distortions

With lockdown in full swing, I have turned to my living environment for subjects for my photographs. I look to the tiny details around us that mostly go unnoticed. Moments of beauty that change with the sun's passing, obscured by a cloud or the shadow of a pet passing by—fleeting beauty that is here and gone just like the passing of the days of our collective confinement. In this body of work, Distortions, I zero in on the way light is contorted as it passes through transparency. How a glass of wine warps and contorts our surroundings to produce a new montage in our glass. How transparent fluids like honey distorts the light passing through and the shape of any object plunged into it, how the form of a reflective object leaves a trace of its shape and color on what sets adjacent to it. I use macro photography to investigate these small signs of life going on around us.
