About
Photographer specializing in the process and sensibility of the medium of photography. ✨
Spa - a place of rest, recreation, and treatment procedures. The first information, contact we get mainly through the skin at this place, through the mud wraps, immersion in healing waters, or through various treatments, etc... As the largest human organ, the skin has many functions, and I have compared skin sensitivity to the sensitivity of photo paper. I created a home spa and applied procedures to light-sensitive material. I placed materials of various states on light-sensitive paper and observed the transformations. The reactions and the whole process were very calming and acted to the mind (soul), more than the body. I continuously recorded the reactions. It was a bath of mind. The experience of the present moment was supported by the instability and constant development. The images, processes, and abstractions that were made are in the book. Through this book, the viewer can experience the visual bath of the mind.
