Description from the seller
Water becomes an imperfect mirror, a liquid boundary between what we see and what we imagine. The female figure emerges and disappears between reflections and ripples, while a small vintage binocular replaces the gaze, transforming the act of observing into a game of perspective. The observer is, at the same time, the observed.
Executed in intense black and white, the work eliminates all chromatic distraction to focus attention on the matter of water, on light and on the deformations that transform the body into a presence suspended between reality and abstraction. The image recalls the language of Surrealism and contemporary conceptual photography, inviting the spectator to question the relationship between identity, memory, and perception.
The binocular, an object from another era, becomes a metaphor for the search for new points of view: seeing further also means learning to look inside oneself. The waves that traverse the face and body suggest the ongoing becoming of the human being, never defined once and for all, but in constant transformation.
Printed in a limited edition, this work is conceived for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary photography who seek images with strong visual and symbolic impact, able to dialogue with elegant, minimalist, and sophisticated environments.
Limited edition: numbered and signed by the artist.
Technique: Fine Art photography.
