Liquid Emotions
Water beckons me to photograph it with powers of seduction that I cannot resist. This series of images started as a natural response to that call, a sensual exploration of light, shape, texture and color, all of it encapsulated in small fragments of the aquatic landscapes of the Yucatan Peninsula. In time, as I continued working on these images, they also took my mind back to the work of master photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who created his famous Equivalent Series of cloud pictures between 1922 and 1935. Those were black and white images, while these are very much an exploration of color, but perhaps they share a common intent: to connect with the viewer's inner visual experience by offering objective representations of reality that may open gateways to personal emotions.
