“Submerged is an exploration. The water-based series draws on contrasting elements and environments to explore perspective, light, angle, space and emotion.
This particular collection from the series strips the image down to a simple, basic state. Soft reflections and flowing lines invite the viewer to explore the environment, their connection with the subject and to draw personal parallels. The images evoke feelings of detachment and surrender. Subjects hang suspended; there is a sense of serenity as they accept the moment and release. At a basic level, the images explore a spectrum of emotions as tones of euphoria, optimism, eroticism and sorrow wash away leaving the subject vulnerable and at peace.” (Jordan Junck)
