The concept of the project
For miracles not only can you peek, you can create them. Many of us in childhood dream to become owners of a magic wand, cloak of darkness or boots-fast walkers. But as adults, we understand that real miracles do not need complicated mechanisms. Miracles happen easily and unexpectedly, when they really believe or they're not. Tiny miracles we encounter every day, they surround us everywhere, and we are so accustomed to them that manage to ignore them. But if you look around and look at the world watchful eye, you can see a lot of incredible, unexpected, and absolutely magical. In many tales it is possible to meet the fantastic stories associated with shadows. And yet all probably know the fixture for children's creativity called the spirograph toy, designed to create geometric shapes and patterns. If you look closely, this is also quite a magical thing. Like a spirograph, create a disembodied patterns of shadows, I recently created quite by accident. I walked into the common kitchen of an ordinary Moscow apartment and saw a glass on a table with six faces, he realized that he can swing the incredible beauty of the shade. Took a sheet of paper, a Desk lamp and began to experiment. The lamp was too bulky and static, and then I came to the aid of the led lamp. Tonight I had a photo session not only glass, but also my grandmother's crystal bowl. During the experiment it became clear that the shadow – the substance is very unpredictable. Sometimes regular, non-crystal and even plastic utensils, which I didn't put much hope, gave such a fantastic shade that is the most expensive crystal could die from jealousy. And the incredible beauty of crystal vase unexpectedly could be capricious and as the shadows to stand before us a grey shapeless something. The combination of different objects in the compartment with unexpected methods of lighting has become completely unpredictable results. Shadows making an ornamental figure, sometimes so similar to the spirograph patterns. In my eyes born from nothing is a miracle. Like all miracles, it was fleeting and short-lived, so the result it was decided to capture on camera.
