The Oakland-Based Artist Finding Magic In Fleeting Reflections And Small Urban Surprises

Emily Wick is a visual artist and photographer based in Oakland, California, known for turning fleeting light phenomena and playful urban moments into poetic images.

Her work often focuses on bubbles, reflection, sparkle, night scenes, and transient effects of light, especially when flash and darkness collide. The imagery feels intimate and experimental, as if she is documenting tiny visual events before they disappear. A clear thread through the feed is a fascination with ephemeral beauty and everyday magic.
