SPHERE 22

"Sphere22/Noise Flowers", as a continuation of the AvantGarden project ventures into the enchanting realm of a nature at the nano level, inspired by the intricacies of the natural world, bringing to life the captivating dance between insects and plants, blurring the boundaries of form and function at the microscopic scale.

The heart of my inspiration lies in the exquisite mimicry found in nature, the phenomenon of insects that resemble plants, plants that masquerade as insects, and the surreal convergence of both, creating an ecosystem where the lines between species become a fluid, ever-changing dance of disguise and adaptation.

"Sphere22" is not just a celebration of mimicry; it's a visual exploration fueled by the allure of rare and exotic plants, fruits, and animals, the vibrant palette of their colors, the poetry of their behavior, and the symphony of their intricate structures.

Noise Flowers is a series of "dynamic" images I have been working on since 2017, as the most elusive, and conceptually intangible series, full of intricate details, formal explorations into depths of digital patterns of shifting spectral vibrations, prismatic interplays, and holographic overlays of surfaces that are comforting and reassuring. The direct sensorial impact of these vibrating surfaces has been very important as it translates as a bridge that connects subject and object, as an invitation to expand beyond oneself. Entering the eternal flows or sensorial information we are all surrounded by, emanating from surfaces of objects, with the help of these powerful portals, we gain the right to enter the void, full of the powerful force of creative noise. These surfaces seem to capture specific locations on some imaginary yet concrete and real-time grids and hold them in their bodily containers for us to enjoy and feel comforted by. The subject of noise has been intriguing to me for decades, as it holds so many important signifiers and it can be many things in a variety of contexts. In the case of Noise Flowers, it seems that I keep gathering thoughts and impressions from many corners of my work, that come together to form this magma-like substance into what other digital works melt into, and new forms emerge out of the digital brewery of my own desktop and ongoing mindscapes. As the noise of cosmic hum arrives from all directions, as the interstellar dust, particles glistening or shooting stars so is here everything in a constant state of intense yet very calming flux, everything flows according to the rules unknown to us and things travel and fall into place, to yet again, sometimes unexpectedly in a split second continue on their paths of constant movement, grown expansion and rebirth. As a calming sound that assures us that the world works with our own internal rhythms and the rhythms of systems unknown to us, noise is here to comfort, keep us company, and make a cacoon around us. When flowers of noise form for a short while and are visible to us, we get to enjoy what seems to be a perfect order of inner elements of puzzling yet familiar constellations. As everywhere around us millions and millions of constellations of planetary, human cells, and animal systems are regulating themselves and keep on going, so are our own nano constellations, which keep on branching into the network that is unique only to our souls that fuses us into the waves of noise of the world, of our “noosphere”.
