About the project:

  

THE ART OF REFLECTION is a project whose name is derived from the book with the very same title by Marsha Meskimmon. I wish to experiment with all kind of surfaces to reflect my selves. A journey into surreal worlds of the soul.

When God created man in His image, He created a measure; the human perception of the world corresponds to God's creative intention. Man by definition is a center, or "the center" in a given universe; not by accident, but in virtue of the very nature of Being, and this is why that which is large or small for man is large or small in the divine intention; man perceives things as they present themselves in the divine Intellect. And that is why the world of the indefinitely small, as well as the world of the indefinitely large, is as it were forbidden to man, who should not want to disproportionately enlarge the small or to disproportionately reduce the large. Man ought to feel that there is no advantage or happiness in such enterprises; and he would feel it if he had maintained a relationship with the Absolute, or if this relationship were sincere and sufficient. He, who is really at peace with God is free from all unhealthy curiosity, if one may say so; he lives, like a well-guarded child, in the blessed garden of a grace that does not forsake him; the Creator knows the best place for the creature, and He knows what is good for man.

 

In a certain sense, the world of atoms as well as that of galaxies is hostile to human beings, and comprises for them, in principle or potentially, a climate of alienation and terror. Some people will doubtless argue that "the man of our times" is an "adult," but this is pride, even satanism, for a normal man always keeps a childlike side, as all sacred Scriptures attest by their language; if such were not the case, childhood itself would not comprise a positive aspect. Of course, a mature man ought to be "adult," but he can be so otherwise than by plunging into forbidden abysses; the spiritual victory over illusion is a matter appreciably more serious than the insensitivityof the explorers of the inhuman.

 

There are two points to consider in created things, namely the empirical appearance and the mechanism; now the appearance manifests the divine intention, as we have stated above; the mechanism merely operates the mode of manifestation.

 

For example, in man's body the divine intention is expressed by its form, its deiformity, its symbolism and its beauty; the mechanism is its anatomy and vital functioning.

 

The modern mentality, having always a scientific and "iconoclastic" tendency, tends to overaccentuate the mechanism to the detriment of the creative intention, and does so on all levels, psychological as well as physical; the result is a jaded and "demystified" mentality that is no longer "impressed" by anything. By forgetting the divine intention - which nonetheless is apparent a priori - one ends in an emptiness devoid of all reference points and meaning, and in a mentality of nihilism and despair, if not of careless and brutal materialism. In the face of this deviation it is the child who is right when he believes that the blue sky above us is Paradise.

Oh goodness, I wish you could see this one in person, the depth didn't translate back into photo very well! Whitney is a dancer and the grace I hoped to capture seemed effortless for her!

 

Growing up, the sighting of a butterfly was magical. They were so delicate, free, and always sought out beauty (in the form of flowers). It seemed perfect to have a butterfly represent a heart then. The roses and wings are emerging from a rib cage that has been cut out of the canvas.

My attempt to photograph what I see, not what I know is there... opens the door to creative thinking and curiosity for the viewer.

Waterfilm is a series filmed since 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute.this series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...

Part of a series of shots on time and its perception

 

Man waiting for the train at the station reading the newspaper.

His solitary waiting suggests a slow perception of time, a moment of 'isolation' in which everything flows more slowly.

Indeed, time expands almost to a stop in the longer expectations.

In contrast with this, the moving train: symbol of becoming, a perception of motion and 'sliding'.

Framed within it, other commuters waiting or moving frantically between the tracks, recalling also images of 'waiting/slow - motion/fast' passage of time.

Their synthesis invokes the theory of relativity (Einstein)

  

I tried to show the different degrees of perception of time, moving from the idea of time as an abstract concept, dependent on our subjective perception and emotion.

I have been thinking about how we look at things that aren't real. I'm talking about spaceships, cars and photoediting.

 

I mean, we know how a car is supposed to look like. We see them every day, real cars, our brains are tuned to them in terms of how they look and move around us. Spaceships are a different thing, we're not that used to seeing them around. Does that make a difference when making images with a scale model? Is a spaceship an easier sell than a car?

 

I made an experiment with the Maserati Boomerang model I've been building during the past couple of months.

30 Days of Perception: Day 14

On my usual pre-dawn walk, I was seeking beautiful tree silhouettes against the lightening sky. I passed this tree trunk on the side of the path and didn't take too much notice, but then I turned back to take a closer look. There was something about it that had caught my eye. The street lamp was illuminating the lichen and bringing out the rich colours and texture.

I am glad I turned back to see something that I hadn't been seeking.
