Oceanic feeling

SHOW

 

I am a wave
I am the ocean
I am the universe

This is my subtitle that already reveals and sums up the essence of this work. It is my personal spiritual approach of being in the world, my way of connection and communion with the ground of being. A kind of unity and sync with the sacred flow, the elan vital. I experience awe in nature in manifold ways; I am drawn with all my senses to the collective wonder of existence witnessing its unfolding into the appearances of “the 10.000 things“, marveling patterns of matter shifting constanly in a fluid cosmic dance of waves and particles. All is projected and reflected like in the jewels of Indra’s Net, entangled interconnectedness.

Most of my images are shot in Infrared in a spectrum (850 nm) that the human eye cannot detect but that a lot of more-than-human-beings are able to perceive. Wandering the shores of ignorance and expanding my horizon I like both the idea of exploring reality beyond the limits of human perception, kind of lifting the veils… And the curious and empathetic attempt to envision how more-than-human-beings might perceive reality.

As opposed to the dominant focus on transcendence in Western culture it is about essential pure immanence that surrounds us, an immediate physical and emotional experience that grounds us in the world.

In a broader context I am contemplating our cultural values and disbalances, our unconscious shadows and a desperately needed mindset shift.

Side notes:

This series is still evolving and there are more images and motifs, different manifestation… Among these is a handmade dummy book realized in the Masterclass of Origini Edizioni in May 2025.

One motif has already been on view in Tokyo at the Ephemere Photo Fest 2025
