 === '''Explorations of the Monad: A Microcosmic Journey''' ===
+The feeling of looking through a telescope into the vastness of the night is also found in the microscope. The microscope functions as a portal to the sub-universe of the micro, of organised forms hidden in the larger terms of "more complex" organisms or elements.
+According to the philosopher Leibniz, what exists in the realm is coming from an initial indivisible substance. Constant contraction and collision of this substance or energy, reacting with each other, creates compound substances which are what we know as reality.
+The book offers a magnified look at microcosmic life, revealing a hidden world and inviting to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the universe at its tiniest level.
+Through structures found under the microscope, the idea of monad (phylosospic term to describe the initial or originating substance) is explored by speculating on its shape, texture and colours.
+The images were taken with the aid of the microscope and extracted from samples of different Weimar waters (ponds, ilm park, fountains) in the search for an encounter with this world of the micro.
