Beneath Rome lies a forgotten labyrinth stretching through darkness below the ancient city. Some passages have vanished, others continue beneath streets and ruins, while many secrets may still remain hidden underground.

A tiny droplet reveals a new perspective.

Old paper money, seen from a different world.

For this series, I explored an idea using my Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens—diving deep into the details of historical banknotes. A friend kindly brought part of his collection, and this is one of the first results: a Belgian 100 franc note, captured at extreme magnification.

At first glance, you might think you’re looking into the eyes of a lady. But look again—this is actually part of a bearded man. When isolated like this, reality shifts. Scale changes perception.

What fascinated me most are the physical details: the thickness of the ink, the tiny fibers of the paper, and the precision of printing techniques from the early 2000s. These notes were not just currency—they were carefully engineered objects designed to resist forgery through complexity at both visible and microscopic levels.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Canon MP-E 65mm.

For thousands of years, people across cultures have described encounters with mysterious Earth spirits known as Faery. Ancient traditions, myths, and supernatural experiences suggest humanity may share reality with unseen forces.

Kleine Welt, große Bedeutung (Small World, Big Impact)

Ein seltener Blick in die kleine Welt einer Hummel: Zwischen den Grashalmen sammelt sie Pollen, während das Makro jede feine Struktur ihres Körpers sichtbar macht. Ein stiller Moment, der zeigt, wie faszinierend und wichtig unsere Bestäuber sind.

A rare glimpse into the tiny world of a bumblebee: nestled between blades of grass, collecting pollen while the macro lens reveals every delicate detail. A quiet reminder of how beautiful and essential our pollinators are.

As the sun slowly climbed higher, the mist began to settle. What once floated invisibly through the air became droplets — tiny beads of water forming along the delicate threads of spiderwebs.

And then the light found them.

Each droplet acted like a miniature lens, bending and reflecting the morning light. This is refraction at work: light changing direction as it passes through water, turning simple dew into a constellation of bright points. What is nearly invisible in shadow becomes suddenly radiant under the right angle of light.

For a brief moment, the forest revealed a hidden structure — geometry spun overnight, now outlined in light.

Same place, same camera, same settings. Just a little later in time… and an entirely different world.
