Photography. Chacé / France. -- The series Into the Water originated from a quietly absurd and surreal impulse: to photograph a well-dressed character standing ankle-deep in water. The first session took place on the coast in 2017. Out of practicality, I photographed myself and my daughters, lending the work an intimate, familial quality. Yet the figures also function as symbolic, fictional presences. In this way, the series extends my ongoing investigation into the meeting point of landscape, portrait, and dreamlike imagery.
