Crystals

In recent years, Suter has had the privilege of being invited as an artist in residence to various science labs, where she witnessed crystallization experiments and explored diverse crystal forms found everywhere — from ice to salt to bodily fluids — each possessing natural structural brilliance.

Her fascination with crystals began as a personal pursuit, growing them for her own pleasure, until she began integrating them into her artwork. During the 2020 lockdown, she cultivated crystals with careful environmental conditions, then photographed them using microscopic and macro lens techniques.

The colors captured in these images are not merely visual representations; they encapsulate the essence and emotions of the crystals themselves. By adjusting microscope lighting, she captures rainbow refractions as sunlight disperses through crystals, bridging artistic and scientific realms.
