Our air is filled with invisible waves. Electro magnetic waves. Used for radio, wifi, cell phones, and visible light. As humans we can only see a very limited part of the electro magnetic spectrum. The rest is there, but not visible for us. But we can measure it. In this photo project, I tried to visualize these waves along a canal in Amsterdam. To make the unvisible visible. Although I focus on what I see and observe, it’s a humbling thought that most of the things out there are not visible for me.
