photograph, shot on Olympus T6 Tough
Artist’s Note: Humans are inextricably linked to nature, regardless of how separate from the natural world we may often feel. One of the most primal connections, of course, is water. The ancients were right: water is best; water is life. Thus, my art focuses on the impact water has in photographs. I use an Olympus T6 Tough to take my underwater photos. This piece shows the elegance of air bubbles under water.
