entry description
I work with water a lot as a theme, trying to show the feeling of being trapped and helpless. However, for me, water means freedom and purification, so I try to demonstrate that contradictory relationship. Time is another theme in my photographs, and it is a big part of my everyday anxiety. Reflection of age, ticking clock of expectations, being emotionally young but otherwise feeling very old.In this photograph, I connect water and time together showing what lies in my subconscious.
