This project follows a series of visual narratives embodied by water. It explores femininity, masculinity and what lies in between. It follows conversations between love and anger, passion and trepidation, temptation and control, celebrating the fine line between one space and the next. It skims between the upper world of reality and a dark underbelly of fantasy.
Drawn from the myths of the tide, these sirens linger in the liminal; exist in the in-between. They’re suspended between surface and depth, beauty and unease. Where water blurs identity and the familiar becomes otherworldly, this is a portrait series which explores the idea of the threshold, and the spaces we inhabit when we no longer belong to one world or the next.
