Fresh Summer Breeze

Author Ruben Montesinos 
Publisher Handshake Press

Fresh Summer Breeze is a representation of butterflies and dragonflies as ambiguous, almost mystical presences. Through their naturally saturated and iridescent colors, they begin to appear less as biological subjects and more as apparitions: figures that oscillate between documentation and illusion, between the scientific image and the ethereal.

In this sense, the project explores how perception can be altered through visual intervention: how something "real" can approach fiction through aesthetic manipulation. The images operate within that unstable threshold described in the manifesto: a suspended space where visibility and invisibility, presence and absence, truth and invention continuously overlap.
