Each photograph is a single exposure. No overlays or AI generated elements are used.

What you see is what was present in that split second click - then inverted to reveal how the natural world composes its own illusions.

The resulting images blend rock, sky, plant, and water into seamless forms, where boundaries dissolve and new perspectives emerge to celebrate the Cape Floristic Region's biomes through a lens of subtle transformation.
