My story actually begins with curiosity. I want to know what light does when it deviates from what you would normally expect. I work without digital manipulation because I am interested in the real optical behavior itself. Sometimes something arises that feels like a microscopic process, sometimes like something cosmic — but I don't design that. It just happens. For me, it's about capturing those brief moments in which perception has no solid ground and you don't quite know what you are seeing. That is exactly the magic I am looking for.
