This series was born from the notion that reality is a hallucination generated by the brain. When I began this body of work in 2002, I focused on creating images that reflect the state between wakefulness and sleep. To represent this liminal zone, I employed spontaneous, physical camera manipulation—altering form, luminosity, and color saturation to evoke the fluidity of consciousness.

As the series evolved, I integrated concepts from philosophy, psychology, and meditation. These influences transformed my creative sessions into ritual-like experiences, reconnecting me with curiosity and the innocence of my inner child. In recent years, my approach has shifted, informed by research in physics and neuroscience, toward a method akin to surveying a landscape or embarking on an expedition into uncharted territory. The terrain, however, is a fabricated universe—ephemeral and existing only during the act of creation—pushing the boundaries of my own methods for constructing reality.

The resulting images of my “travels,” though reminiscent of the physical world, are stripped of clear contextual clues, revealing a profound tension: the space between what we perceive and what truly exists. I have continued the evolution of this work in my Energetics series
