Experiencing Interruptions?

WATER 1

WATER 1 explores the connection between matter, reality, life, and the absurdity of human thought. Kandalaft uses sound to deceive our senses and inject confusion. Through image he highlights the beauty and complexity of natural elements and their patterns in a style reminiscent of pictorialist photography, where evocative beauty takes precedence over faithful representation of reality.
