I'm feeling very still

My work consists of photographed impressions of the aquatic garden in my home yard. The pond forms a complete habitat and presents the reciprocal relationships between the organisms to their still environment. The pond is a case study of engineered nature. From my point of view, it is an arena, a laboratory, where I may ask what can be defined as “nature"? During the last three years I’ve been watching the pool through my camera. Prolonged, meditative and examining observation of the natural processes unfolding in the pool reveals the constant by the changing. The weather, the light, the colors and the forms ceaselessly change, as in a kaleidoscope. Water plants, algae, fallen branches from the surrounding trees, leaves and seeds blown by the wind, fish and random insects form multiple meeting points. All these components flow like atomic particles in the water currents, ceaselessly connecting and separating in a slow continuous dance. Every split-second new compositions form randomly and naturally. I try to capture them with my camera. The series “I'm feeling very still” is an homage. The meditative observation of the pool turns into a journey to space.
