"I’m learning how important it is to be self-defining and self-affirming. I want, one day, to not need my worth validated by someone else- not my mother, or the lover who falls asleep unexpectedly, or my thesis advisor. I NEED to feel that I am awesome, sincerely, and not disingenuously. I also, beloveds, want that feeling for you."

Iridient by Fabian Oener

Bursting Soap Bubbles

“Captured with High Speed Flash Units, the images show soap bubbles in the moment of bursting. In the first few images, you can still see the bubbles intact, few instants after their creation. In the last pictures, you see how the thin film of soap starts to dissapear, leaving behind countless tiny drops of soap water”
