With this project I aimed at visualising electricity. We live with electricity being ubiquitous around us and, yet, we never see it.

With a bit of DIY and leveraging the precious legacy that Nicola Tesla left us, I built a small “lightening generator”. With that done, I was able to then visualise and capture one of the manifestations of electricity.

The results are striking “electric trees”, as electricity dissipates through air forming tree-like structures.

Ultimately, this is a tribute to electricity, which became such a fundamental component of our civilisation.
