Crystallizations – Potassium Phosphate
This project is the culmination of seven months of careful and methodical exploration around the crystallization process of potassium phosphate. I captured nearly 150,000 photographs, taking one photo every minute, in a continuous time-lapse to document the slow transformation of matter.
The images were taken using a Canon 5DSR and a Canon R5, in macro photography, to reveal the intricate details invisible to the naked eye. I explored various forms of crystalline growth, in Petri dishes and on other paper materials, fusing scientific observation with visual aesthetics.
Sound design also played a key role in this project. Each sound was carefully crafted to accompany the growth of the crystals, enhancing their movement and amplifying the visual texture for a fully immersive sensory experience.
