Program Description
The water is everywhere such as in the river, lakes, oceans, ground, air, plants, our body and breath. The sense of connections – connections with ourselves and with our surroundings- is what I wish to promote. I believe that the sense of connections takes an important part in our health, healing, and kindness. There are unique forms, lines, shapes, and colours related to water shown in these works that invite people’s, curiosity, imaginations, and friendly conversations with each other. These images of water can also invite sense of calmness. There are so many similarities I see in the water and us(humans). I can not help but to feel connected when feeling and seeing water. Through photographic works, I invite people to sense such similarities. Some of these similarities are below; Both water and humans are affected by external factors such as changes in temperature, pressure, pollutions, and environmental conditions. Each wave of water is so unique in its colours, shapes, movements, and textures yet interrelated with each other. We as humans are unique individuals yet we are interrelated with each other. We are mostly made of water. Moreover, whether we like it or not, human, animals, and plants breathe the same air. The water is in the air and in our breath. This is another way to recognize that we are all connected-connected with each other and connected with the water. Water-sense of connections is a photography series that celebrates. the beauty and significance of water and sense of connections. With such awareness of connections, we can choose to be kind to ourselves and others.
