When Water Dreams
When Water Dreams explores the threshold between vision and abstraction — the point at which water stops mirroring the world and begins to imagine its own. In this series, the reflections of trees, skies, and structures dissolve into ripples of pure color and form. The familiar becomes otherworldly, reshaped by motion and light into something both fleeting and eternal.
Within my larger practice, When Water Dreams continues my ongoing dialogue with time, perception, and transformation. Just as When Time Melts and Transient Echoes explore the impermanence of human presence, here the subject itself — water — becomes consciousness in motion, reinterpreting the visible world through its own language of fluid geometry.
These photographs are less about what the eye sees than what the mind remembers: color as memory, rhythm as emotion, and abstraction as a form of truth.
