Surface Tension (2019 - ongoing)
When the outer plane gets punctured. A new world appears; Figures turn into landscapes, limbs into fins, and bodies morph and merge into peculiar yet familiar organic shapes and structures. A ceremonial splash is followed by a momentary lapse of consciousness, and then new galaxies are born with every drawn breath. What are we but a series of star-crossed enigmas; A deck of cards in the wind, twisted by fate and held together, loosely, by a glue that has no name.
For this project, I photographed people as they immersed themselves in a pool. This work reflected on how the cleansing power of water became a conduit to vulnerable pictures and disarming conversations. I made audio recordings of these conversations alongside portraits and videos. As seen below, in order to create an immersive experience of people and their relationship with water I experimented with digitally projecting captured videos into the surface of the pool.
