Carbon Obscura is a wordplay on camera obscura, which was an early form of camera used to assist artists to draw a scene during the Renaissance. The work takes photography (drawing with light) to new dimensions, these are cameras like no other, and light becomes animated in waves of fog. The artist takes his intrigue with light and projections to new places and opens portals for the audience allowing them to enter the space of the camera.
