Life is

but a Dream

This cyanotype is created on acid-free cotton paper, prepared and worked while still wet.

A blooming spring branch was placed directly onto the sensitized surface. Vinegar, soap bubbles, and yellow food coloring triggered irregular reactions, creating expansions, halos, and layered textures. As water mixed with the reagents, it guided the movement of the blue tones and warmer hues, generating an unstable balance between control and chance.

After exposure, the print was rinsed and left to dry, revealing the imprint of the branch and the traces left by the process.

At a later stage, the flowers were redrawn digitally on an iPad using Procreate. This intervention does not simply replicate the original form, but reinterprets it: a delicate line that re-emerges over the print, like a memory of the initial gesture.

The result is a dialogue between material and mark, between analog process and digital intervention.
