Aquamorphosis

Primary life originates in water. Water is the container where life, as we know it, is molded into shape. Over time, as it goes through different energy states, life leaves the supreme liquid womb to turn into a terrestrial being.  It is difficult to find such an adequate means of support as water in the universe, a medium for life to be conceived and for this creating energy to gather and expand. Yet we need only reflect on our origin to realize that women are those capsules where human life develops, takes shape and is conceived. Human beings thus germinate in a woman's womb. Through an aqueous reaction, women provide a new being with the essence of life, just as water would in the beginnings. 

 

This unique and transformative relationship between water and women is revealed in their similar shapes, structures, and essences. The plasticity of a woman's body resembles that of water; both are gentle, curved, delicate, organic and irregular.  They share a geometry that fades in their convergent ellipses, parabolas, and arches when we observe them. 

 

Primary life needs movement to form. Life and its support communicate in the language of inertia. With a medium that recreates water motion and from a romantic and poetic perspective of nudity, this photographic project is an allegory of the relationship between water and women. These monochromes and subtle images depict women's delicate nature, while the fluidity of water, together with the lines of movement, suggest the curved and voluptuous figure of a woman.
