“These photographic scenes, taking place in the aqueous landscapes of rivers, lakes and oceans, present the ritual of immersion baptism wherein a multiplicity of human dramas is played out.  The constructed images survey a range of emotions on the faces of the reborn, from joy, serenity and gentle compassion to pain, insecurity and aggression.  Stripped of their belongings, figures are immersed in a world that is both nourishing and potentially malevolent. We recognize in such contradictions the complexity and beauty of human experience, an experience that is both global and personal in its reach.”
