Elements: Water

"Elements" is a project that seeks to study the profound interconnectedness of everything, exploring and documenting the transformation that occurs when elements interact with photographic negatives. By intervening with water, fire, air, and earth, the project aims to uncover hidden stories and the visual poetry embedded in nature. It delves into the unpredictability and causality of analog photographic processes, allowing the elements to leave their distinctive mark on the film, thus capturing the very essence of these elemental forces. Water is gentle and relentless, life-giving yet transformative. Through boiling the film absorbs water’s fluid energy, resulting in ethereal shapes, flowing textures, and tones that echo ripples, currents, and the depths of the unknown. These images invite contemplation on the transformative power of water, its role as a force of connection and change, and its ability to remind us of life’s impermanence and interconnectedness.
