If the effects of refracted, or bent, light isn’t surrealism, I don’t know what is. Refraction happens when light passes through a transparent material such as glass, which slows down the speed of light transmission, bending it in the process. And the shadows cast by the refracted light I think are equally as beautiful.

The two photos here are my studies of shadow patterns cast by the sun through a couple of wine glasses. In the video clip, I filmed a glass egg in front of my clip of a train yard. The egg’s fraction flipped the train yard upside down.
