Liquid Grounds is a series of photographs and video works that focus on aquatic species living in urban waterways — small forms of life we rarely notice in everyday life. Using a zoomed-in lens, I capture these creatures at a microscale, where they take on a presence of their own, forming strange and vivid landscapes.
By shifting our point of view, the work challenges what we think of as visible or important. These often-overlooked species become central, while the urban surroundings fade into abstraction. At this scale, the usual sense of time and space begins to slip — the familiar feels unfamiliar, and the boundaries between us and the more-than-human world start to blur.
