Spectral Emissions
I am drawn to dark places. Come with me deep into the undergrowth, under the soil, inside the remnants of ancient wood. There a living network silently respires in the dark. Every so often it blossoms - ghostly shapes that hint at the vast and unseen fungal kingdom. A special light illuminates the way. Touched by rays of UV light, these strange fruit absorb its power deep within their molecules and emit it back to us through the camera lens. What appears is more than surface and shape - we glimpse their true essence. Harbingers from a shadowy and fecund realm that is all around and within us, these spectral emissions reveal nature’s eternal cycle of decay and rebirth.
