(n.) the fifth element or quintessence. A medium that fills all space and through which signals could travel as a means for communication.

A metaphotographic series of alternative-process silver gelatine prints, seeking to elicit a sense of awe, and spiritual connection with Nature. This work channels archetypical symbolic natural subjects, while harnessing the transformative potential of water and light - the profound interconnectedness of these elements, and the delicate equilibrium between order and chaos, intentionality and surrender. The work intends to evoke a state of reflection, to examine the sacred in the ordinary, and to share 'proof' of Nature's divinity. The use of water plays a dual role - both its significance as a subject, as well as its role as a creative medium. It mirrors the ever-shifting nature of our ethereal existence, responding to natural phenomena and intention.
