Water is an amazing compound with many unique properties. The most fascinating being that water expands when transferring to its solid state – ice, unlike any other compound. This color series is an allegory of the theme of expansion and stasis. I’ve photographically captured a frozen scene at lakes edge and the actual freezing process is revealed in the image. Expansion and movement of floating elements arrested to stillness, freezing a scene of organic material layered in ice. Light dances across the surface and penetrates below exposing a hidden world, creating elegant icescapes.
