    organic gel in polarized light

Life Forms are inspired by my fascination with origins of life. To create these images, I have developed a novel technique that exploits the mesmerizing visual effects produced by organic gels photographed in polarized light. Uniting three disciplines that seldom meet – photography, biochemistry and material science – I attempt to capture the essence of living matter and to visualize the overpowering primal forces that compel the natural world to create and develop life. The life-size, three-dimensional compositions, which I are meticulously design from translucent organic gels, resemble simple life forms emerging from the darkness, bursting with vibrant color and light.
