Skimming the Surface

Shifting focus to the environment itself, Skimming the Surface uses scanning and panorama techniques to isolate objects, compositions, and phenomena without exposing signs of my interaction. Although my shadow or presence is not visible, my movement, influenced by gait and balance, impacts the outcome of each scan. The resulting flattened, elongated compositions stretch and distort the visual field, evoking abstract, almost painterly qualities that explore the boundaries between representation and abstraction. These images may resemble aerial or drone photographs, but they are captured close-up from a continuous vantage point perspective that cannot be replicated by any other technique.

Skimming the Surface challenges the viewer to consider the surface as not merely a boundary but as a dynamic space where meaning and interpretation fluctuate. The series expands the dialogue between photography and painting, between the physical and the ephemeral, offering a fresh perspective on how we perceive and relate to the world around us.
