This photograph is the first shot of my new series, where I try to explore the fusion of light and shadow with a water environment. I also noticed that this phenomenon deconstructs the observed motif. It is close to the idea of the Russian formalists who were trying to change scenes of everyday reality into artificial visions. We can find similar artistic approaches in photography from the beginning and almost throughout the 20th century. One of them was Vorticism. It was an art direction where the associate photographers did not care about the time, space, or story in their taken images. They only played with light and shadow. A photograph was more important in a visual than a substantive sense (Vortograph - Alvin Langdon Coburn). For me, the content is equally important as the visual sense. In the new series, I will try to warn society about the seriousness of the water privatization issue through the visual uniqueness of the "Water Visions".
