Introducing Ōra: a world that exists without needing to be understood. Ōra is an organic, abstract realm. A world without life as we know it that shows no signs of dominance or hierarchy, where no rules bind and no structures define.
It isn't tangible. It simply is.
Through visuals that pulse with dark organic beauty, Ōra shows us what happens when we let go of control. There’s an eerie stillness to it, at times uneasy, yet deeply calming.
Abstraction is not the absence of meaning; it is the purest form of it. Ōra is a reminder that abstraction surrounds us, always has, always will. We’ve just forgotten how to see it.
Everything in Ōra coexists in quiet chaos, forming connections, separations, and collisions that occur naturally. Without reason, without interference.
It doesn’t ask to be understood.
It invites us to acknowledge its presence.
Ōra is reaching out. Fragments of contact are received. A quiet conversation has begun, not with words, but with presence.
You cannot conquer Ōra.
You cannot possess it, define it, or reduce it.
You can only let it happen to you.
Let it soak into your mind.
Let it unfold.

Ōra is a metaphor for the idea that everything that surrounds us has an abstract character to it, that abstraction is everywhere all the time, that we’ve always felt it and unconsciously noticed it but that we might never have truly acknowledged it.
I make this universe come to life using fluid dynamics. I mix liquids of various chemical structures and capture them with a macro lens mounted on my camera. Each video and photo from the Ōra collection is real and unaltered by generative AI.
The Ōra collection is work in progress. I’m in the process of creating soundtracks and visuals that come together to build an artistic project that goes beyond a photo collection. To keep up with my latest creations, follow me on Instagram.
The first of many creations from the collection, Hollow Earth, is available for purchase on limited edition Fine Art prints, skateboards and t-shirts.
