Underwater

Underwater is a large series consisting of digital photographs I was working on during the first months of 2008. Out of all of them, I selected 6 that I'm most fond of. It is a very personal project, the 6 women in the photographs are all in a state of transition from life to death and this was inspired by the fact that I was in a similar state when I did the series. Still, in my case, it was more of a metaphorical death, the death of the child and the birth of the grown-up, as I was to graduate then. Moreover, water is my favorite out of the 5 elements (maybe because I was born under a water astrological sign) and it symbolizes the matrix of all possibilities. Also, water purifies and it represents metamorphosis.
