By capturing reflections in her series Ma, Vasko wants to show viewers both the inside and the outside of an architectural space, putting them in a type of liminal space, which is the series´ focus. This body of works depicts spaces that can be defined as "gaps” or "pauses” within a building or space.

Ea Vasko about her 2015 series Ma : "Ma (間) Is a Japanese term that is used in art and architecture, literally meaning "space”, "gap”, "pause” or "the space between two structural parts”. […] In this project I am trying to visualize the "Ma-experience” through photography. I have photographed the works for this series in so-called transitional spaces, like corridors, hallways and yards. These are places that are used for passing through – the "gaps” and "pauses” of the architecture.”

A reflection has the ability to gather the light surrounding it into one abstract picture on a surface.

"In this work the visual idea is based on abstraction that I discover in architecture. I try to question the classic way to perceive the object and the space in the picture. Through this, I also test the limits of abstract and recognizable [...] I aim for purity and simplicity in a visual sense” the artist explains about her 2004 series Translucents.
