Submerged explores transformation, identity, and the changing relationship to one’s own body through aging, illness, and healing. Using water as both subject and medium, the photographs move between presence and disappearance, beauty and vulnerability, as the figure dissolves into color, light, and abstraction. Through digital collage, pixelation, and fragmentation, the photographic image itself also begins to break apart. The ten images are intended to be experienced in sequence, moving through dissolution toward re-emergence, and asking what remains when the boundaries between body, water, and self begin to disappear.
