These prints are part of a larger series of works dealing with the hidden dimensions behind natural processes and events. I often use printed material as a stimulus for an idea and work in a collage manner by reconstructing found images from scientific sources. I have been influenced by imagery from diverse fields such as biology, particle physics, satellite photography, and cosmology. The images are intended to evoke imaginary worlds where mysterious forces are going through a transformative process that exist beneath the surface of our everyday reality.
