At this scale, the world reorganizes itself.
Surface Tension is a study in how a small creature occupies a much larger environment — how texture, pattern, and stillness define presence when the subject fits in a palm. The geckos here are not exotic curiosities. They are precise beings, highly adapted, utterly at home in surfaces the human eye passes over without stopping.
Shot at close range in natural light, each image is as much about the material it was taken on as the animal itself. Corrugated metal. Stone. Leaf. Glass. The gecko does not decorate these surfaces — it reads them.
Presence, at this scale, is the same as at any other. The stillness is identical. Only the frame changes.
