Jellyfish Photograms

These works all originate from photograms I made using jellyfish I caught during a jellyfish bloom in Mallorca in 2021. In a darkroom environment, I used light-sensitive paper and darkroom chemicals to develop the photogram exposures.

Jellyfish are transparent, and through the medium of photography and light, the invisible is made visible on the light-sensitive paper. This small simple living structure — without a brain, a heart, blood or skeleton — here, could be mistaken for the universe, outer space, a complex system, eternity.
