‘Breathing Out’ — Felix Oppen

In the dark, cooling hours
air, space, time,
     and steel
relax breathing out.
The shower head sighs
in ataxic release of entropy
displayed as chaos
awaiting us at sunrise

breathing out is a new photographic series observing entropy.

‘The premise for this series is quite small. I started noticing the drips from our shower that collected on the tiles overnight. They looked interesting and so varied. So I started taking photos. That was when the great variety really struck me — it was chaos theory in action in this very everyday place, and in a way that was so easy to see.’
