Liquide phenomenon
I photograph human in water for more than ten years.
This idiosyncratic element…that does not follow the normal rules of chemistry and behaves like no other substance on earth, that defies gravity; breeding ground for life, a destroyer, a romantic, a mirror of the soul, unfathomable and enigmatic. Frightening and fascinating, an alien, elixir of life. Most essential requirement for the survival of not only mankind, but all terrestrial life on Earth… influenced by nature and man-made factors.
Water is the silent room
where time is floating
clocked by the resting breath
a sprawling cocoon
where I am with me
watch in astonishment
as you are with you
gently surrounded
borrowed ease
of the netherworld
