Peter Waters, Poseidon (PEOPLE 2022)

This image is part of a series, "Borne of Water", exploring how we are drawn to and inhabit the boundary layer of air and water. Black and white conversion abstracts the water and reflected midday sun to create a light rippled ether, embroidered with stars. Hunter Perske is a Shakespearian actor, iceberger and powerful swimmer. His command of the waves, chiseled jaw and beard remind me of Poseidon. Inspiration for the series included Greek mythology and our interactions with the 5 Classical Elements, earth, water, air, fire and ether.
