Esa Nykanen | DADAA Side Gallery

Everything is vibrating energy moving in empty space, colours of different frequencies reflect light in the deep darkness balancing each other.
Rainbow colours have no fragrance but you can smell the rain that aeated it.
Present moments shope shift endlessly like liquid water with wind and gravity. Shimmering starlight moves and drizzles in the atmosphere.
The beauty all around us, fuses through our eyes. Causing brain triggering electrical impulses. – Esa Nykanen
