Umbra plot

"Umbra" explores rare and common optical phenomena found in nature. These phenomena evoke familiar images, such as shadows or reflections on a water surface, but also unusual ones, such as the Brocken ghost or the pinhole effect during a solar eclipse. These ancient and natural projections can be considered precultural and independent of any device. They predate humanity and are united by their immaterial, ephemeral presence.
