Description
Experience the captivating world of Mat Hennek's 'Sounds of Spheres'. In this stunning collection, Hennek showcases atmospheric photography that reflects our profound imaginative engagement with nature. Each photograph is a delicate balancing act between reality and abstraction, where misty landscapes at sunrise and snow-laden branches evoke deep emotions and connections. Viewers will be mesmerized by the aerial perspectives captured in the winding curves of rivers or the intricate patterns of the ocean's surface. Hennek transcends conventional nature photography to delve into the hidden harmonies of life, inviting you to discover the 'sounds' that resonate through spheres, connecting seemingly disparate elements—a mountain rock resembling a face, the radiant glow of sunset, and the delicate formations of ice crystals. In 'Sounds of Spheres', Hennek not only presents beautiful imagery but also emphasizes the symphony of sounds created by all living beings, akin to the profound music of the universe.

Description:
In the atmospheric photographs of Sounds of Spheres, Mat Hennek creates striking impressions of how we imaginatively engage with nature. Whether depicting the world from a traditional receding perspective-a misty landscape at sunrise, snow-laden branches, palm trees bending in the wind-or from above-the serpentine curves of a river, fossil-like patterns in sand, the churning surface of the ocean-Hennek does not record nature but captures the apparitions it evokes. Through the soft blurring of edges, lyrical color and a focus on pattern, his images move between representation and abstraction, simultaneously capturing and veiling form. The idea of the sphere links subjects that may at first seem unrelated: a rock posed like a face at the top of a mountain, the glowing ball of the setting sun, the round shapes of ice crystals in a miniature frozen universe, and the great globe of the Earth upon which all this unfolds. And yet Hennek's fascination with spheres is never merely formal: through the "sounds of spheres" he taps into the harmonizing musical resonances of all living things-secret but accessible, if we only listen closely enough.
All living beings produce sounds, just like the planets in the universe: a symphony that we hear only if we become attentive. - Mat Hennek
