Primordium
Primordium is a long-term investigation into the elemental origins of form.In Primordium, that means the origin of Universe and for artists the origin of creative process, Light, Matter and Water are observed not as symbols but as physical phenomena.
Beginning with Galaxies — images that evoke cosmic structures through macrophotographic observation — the project expands into terrestrial energies (Mass & Energy) and states of transformation (Defrost). Across film and digital photography, I want trace how matter organizes itself — from the vast to the minute — revealing recurring patterns of force and structure.
On Time and Matter
Primordium
I photograph the moment matter begins to change.
Ice softens.
Water shifts.
Surface breaks.
I do not compose.
I wait until form starts to surrender.
The image exists only in that passage —
a state that cannot return.
