Oltea Photography

An attempt to a series of 36 unique views of Tokyo Skytree, from different vantage points. Inspired by “Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji” by Katsushika Hokusai. Most of the images are made along the Sumida river, close to the birthplace of Hokusai.

Trees, birds and flowers are traditional subjects in painted folding screens, where the placement of each element is crucial to the overall sense of depth, space and unity.

By applying a multi-panel frame to spontaneous scenes in nature, this series explores how our brains perceive and rearrange split reality and how this influences our perceptions of and emotions towards the familiar.

Certain shapes and patterns can be found across diverse species in the animal and vegetal world. This series uses close-ups and macro photography of food to explore patterns which resemble human organs or tissue, in their physiological or pathological state. For instance, a broken stalk of celery can illustrate a bone fracture, while the texture of bread resembles the osteoporotic bone.

The scratches and wounds created by air, dew and birds' appetite transformed Atlantic Giant pumpkins into miniature galaxies.
