”Insects” from Water Reflections, Ferromagnetic Fluid, and Tesla Coil Experiments.
Medium: Light, Water, Electricity
Category: Visual Signal Studies
What appears at first glance to be a catalog of insect life is, in truth, a mirror held up to perception itself. These are not photographs of bugs, but visions born from frequency, current, reflection, and vibration. In the tradition of scientific illustration and natural history, Circuitdelic Entomology presents a new form of classification—not based on DNA or biology, but on waveform and resonance.
This curated set includes:
- Spider – Not a living arachnid, but a spindled abstraction drawn from manipulated light and electricity. Its legs, illusion. Its gaze, algorithmic.
- Insect – Electric symmetry, captured in a transient flicker of electric flash. A moment where chaos folded into recognizable structure.
- Mantis – Sharp, geometric, and prophetic. It stares back not with hunger but with code. Captured from water reflection on curling.
- Bee – The only actual insect in the set. It offers grounding, contrast, and grace. A reminder that nature is not replaced here—only reflected through new lenses.
- Caterpillars – Twin signals, mirrored and crawling not on bark but across layers of light itself. Manipulated Ferromagnetic Fluid.
Together, these images pose a question:
What makes something real? Biology or perception?
This is not mimicry of nature. It is nature—re-encoded.
“I don’t photograph insects. I reveal the insect in the current.”
