artist statement
Water fascinates me. I go to the beach almost every day to listen to the sea and to watch the ocean as it rises and falls on the sand and rocks. Spending almost an hour in the shower happens quite frequently. Fortunately I have a big roof so my tank is always full. I used to have a clear shower curtain and would watch as droplets formed and inverted the colours beyond. That phenomenon inspired me to shoot images that make people think a little... what is that, how was that done, etc.
