IN HER WATERS *
In Her Waters delves into the key themes of cycles, rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, transformation, environmental cleansing, and restoration. I chose cycles and transformation as the themes to anchor this project. For me, bodies of water embody these themes perfectly: they are ever-moving, endlessly evolving, and deeply vulnerable to the elements around them.
As a Black woman, my dream is simple—to exist as I am, free to flow in the fluidity of my self-expression, just as water does. The images I took also speak to the female experience—the relentless cycles of being told what it means to be a woman, what is expected of you, and what is deemed desirable under the male gaze.
