Surface Tension observes the fragile boundary between water, plant, and air.
In these close studies, reflection becomes matter. Light and reflektion bends, and reforms in the instant between stillness and motion.
The camera records not water but a conversation of forces: gravity, light, breath.

Close study of fresh green leaves and curved blades of grass held within rippling water, where a broad silver reflection flows through the frame and bends the plants into wavering forms. Fine-art photography by artist Maja Sofie Kristiansen.
