Caustic Lines is an ongoing series composed exclusively of Macro Photographs, which presents an imagery investigation of "caustic networks" resulting from the reflection and refraction of light traveling through objects made of glass. Bringing to the images the apprehension of the graphics expressed by the light that crosses these translucent objects. Collecting the rays expressed through brilliantly drawn curves that print the colors of the glasses like soft pastels of light, I reflect on the materializations of photography that portrays light in lines, shapes and colored contours.
