This photography series aims to explore the concept of reflection and perception through the use of mirrors and objects made from mirror-like materials. Each photograph showcases a unique arrangement of mirrors and cubes, creating intricate patterns of light and shadow that challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The photographs also feature abstract human bodies interacting with nature, creating a dialogue between the subject, the object, and the viewer.

Through the use of creative lighting, composition, and perspective, the photographs create a surreal and dream-like atmosphere, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. The project involves experimenting with different textures, colors, and materials to create a variety of visual effects and moods. The abstract human forms are designed to reflect the unique features of each natural setting, highlighting the beauty and diversity of the natural world.

This project aims to stimulate conversations about the nature of perception, self-awareness, and the human experience, and invites the viewer to question their own perception of reality. The project also aims to inspire a sense of wonder and awe for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
