I am a self-taught photographer currently living in Constanta, Romania.
For the last four years I have been involved in the process of recording light interference on soap film, a physical phenomenon that surrounds our everyday lives and yet it goes largely unnoticed.

Simply put, my photographs depict the natural iridescent colors you see when light catches a clear soap bubble.

As seen through the camera lens, a vibrant scenery of shapes and patterns, swirling and dancing on the edge of time, arouse both the eye and mind with a sensation of spatial elasticity. Driven by a strong minimalist impulse, my work is a venture into this playground of the most faint air currents, molecular forces and gravity’s relentless pull.

Viewers are invited to freely construct their own visual narrative as they catch a glimse into the ephemeral universe of the soap bubble.

Breathe… click… exhale… The eternal torn from the momentary. A kind of magic.
