Twan Peeters' photographs from his series defusion and innermost show us a world where enlightenment has been reached. Each photo represents his spiritual search and a moment of deep understanding. His photographs are visual abstractions that he uses to explore his inner self. His work shows a way of seeing that connects to Zen Buddhism. Peeters becomes one with what surrounds him, then captures that experience through his lens. Though his photos show everyday objects from his home, they work as icons for meditation, like Rothko's paintings or the mandalas of Tibetan monks. // Eric Weeks, curator
