GARDENS BELOW - SERIES Created entirely in-camera. Figures lie beneath a sheet of glass while real snails move slowly across its surface. Water thrown onto the glass creates ripples, refractions, and shifting distortions, disrupting the body beneath. What looks almost pointillistic is entirely physical: flowers, water, glass, and movement captured directly in front of the lens. The snails not only introduce texture and a strange sense of spatial ambiguity, but also function as markers of time.
