Abstract nominee

This series explores the illusion of self-perception through Microscopic Crystal Photography Art.

The original images present a raw, untouched state - just as we see ourselves at first glance in the mirror. However, the reflection only shows what is visible, not what truly exists within us. The digitally transformed kaleidoscopic pictures reveal a deeper meaning, unlocking the (UN)seen potential that lies beneath the surface.

True essence of beauty exists in the process of transformation because, through self-discovery, we can uncover strengths greater than we ever believed possible!

... See the (UN)seen ...

My name is Karolina. I am an engineer and a humanist. Taking photos has brought me joy since childhood. I am fascinated by the process of combining complex technique with my unique artistic expression and interpretation. Photography is my passion and an essential part of me. I cannot imagine life without art and looking through pictures. Mindful photography teaches me to notice beauty in small things and within myself. It is like therapy for me, a balm for my soul. I hope that through my art, I can help you see the (un)seen beauty - not only around you but especially within yourself.
