The Water Margin

Water represents so many things to different people & different cultures but without doubt, the sea surface is an interface to a different world, a world in which we can’t survive as a human without man made help, other than exploring a few feet of the surface for short periods of time. For many water-goers what lies beneath remains an often irrational fear, especially in the safer waters of the UK, and one of those fears is being touched by seaweed from the depths below. So in this image a woman confronts her fears, immersing herself in the rock-strewn, choppy, dark, seaweed-abundant cove, stretching herself so that every inch of her naked body remains in contact with the very things that conjure anxiety. As she rolls and turns with each small wave and feels the weed embracing her limbs, she understands that the very things she feared were in reality something to celebrate.
