And it shows a mikroskopom



When the tears of grief come close to the eyes, you can make a joke, someone cut the onion in your room. But if you think about it, the question arises whether these two types of the same tears?



This question can be answered by comparing the structure of tears under a microscope. Rosalynn Fischer photo project "Topography of tears" - a fascinating abstract landscape photographs obtained by the consideration of human tears under a microscope. She began the project in the period of personal turmoil - while the artist began to think about how the tears of happiness differ from the tears of sorrow. Then she collected a catalog of tears, photographed under a microscope - is now the album contains about 100 photos. On its website explains the appeal of Fisher tears abstract forms, combined with knowledge of chemistry:

«Random songs that I find under a microscope, resemble the landscapes of the area from a bird's flight. Although the empirical nature of tears - chemistry (water, proteins, minerals, hormones, antibodies and enzymes), the topography of the tears in the first place is the scenery of our emotions. It - ephemeral atlas ».
