              The world is a paradox: endlessly varied, yet bound by strict reason. Every visible and invisible process is governed by the logic of existence, sustaining the fragile balance between what is alive and what is inert.
              But for centuries, the human mind has strained against this logic, restless, seeking to slip beyond its borders and glimpse the hidden essence of things. It is a challenge of the highest order—a riddle “with an asterisk,” as scientists might say. One way to approach it is deceptively simple: to look closely at the objects and substances that surround us, stripping them of their utilitarian role, and allowing them to reveal other meanings.
              My own path began with vegetables and chance. A potato split in half, a scratch on my skin that led iodine into the frame—such trivial accidents became the seed of the first experiment. Its result startled me enough to continue: carrots, beets, peppers, cucumbers, leeks followed. Soon, spices and liquids joined the line. I realized that the experiment could be endless, its outcomes always shifting, never predictable.
              This project is not about science alone—it is about wonder. It is an invitation to rediscover the everyday and to find, beneath its surface, a kind of hidden artistry—sometimes subtle, sometimes dazzling in its perfection.
