Artist Navid Baraty brings the wonder and beauty of space to our screens right from the comfort of his own kitchen. In fact, using nothing but glasses, house-hold ingredients, & an Epson scanner, Navid has created an incredible photo series titled WANDER. The gallery was originally inspired by his childhood fascination with the images received through the Hubble Telescope. When describing his work, Navid said, “I’m creating these fictional space scenes by placing food on top of a photo scanner and then making a scan with the lid open. The planets and moons are made by scanning the bottoms of glasses containing liquids, whereas the nebulas I use a large tray filled with various liquids. And in case you are wondering how Navid created such believable depictions of outers space, it took him hours and hours of trial and error. The ingredients are listed below each image.

The liquids naturally create the atmospheric swirls that you see in the images when they mix together. The stars and other points of light are made by sprinkling spices and the other ingredients around the scanner glass.”
