Crystallisation of life

05 February, 2024
My works explore and connect the seamless transience of nature with life and freezing imperceptible elements like sound and life force, visualizing them through crystals.

By immersing the subject's heartbeat and photograph in a special liquid for several days and continuously moving them in the solvent with the heartbeat sound emitted from a speaker installed in the solvent, the crystallization feature of shape change and growth due to vibration is utilized. This process captures and stores the subject's image and heartbeat recordings in the crystal. The crystals remember the subject's appearance and heartbeat, which would normally fade with time. By encapsulating the photographs in crystals, the ephemeral, beauty, and strength of human life are preserved and frozen, defying the passage of time
