Statement:
Over the past few years I have worked on a series around swimmers, pools and water.
The swimmers plunge into or emerge out of the water, like the constantly changing moments in any given day; the effort to swim up and out and to breathe. Sometimes they are anonymous figures clustered or alone. At other time there are faces that tell a story. These figures and portraits are about entropy and the history they hold. Despite what life has given them they are still standing strong.
