Girl from the river
In capturing these images, I aimed to explore the fluidity of identity and the intrinsic connection between humanity and the natural world. The subject stands immersed in water, her form partially obscured, evoking a sense of mystery and inviting viewers to look beyond her individuality. Her translucent garment merges with the surrounding water, blurring the boundaries between body and environment, and symbolizing how our identities are as fluid and adaptable as nature itself.
I wanted the interplay of light and shadow to highlight the strength that comes from vulnerability. The transparency of the fabric exposes the body, yet her stance conveys confidence and resilience. This juxtaposition speaks to the idea that embracing our natural state, even with all its openness, is a source of quiet power. In this moment, she is both a part of the water and distinct from it, embodying the harmonious dance between human form and the elements that surround us.
For me, this image is a reflection on transformation—how we, like water, are constantly shifting and evolving, yet always connected to the larger flow of life around us.
