My interest in how buildings and infrastructure are perceived and used, especially those adjacent to sources of water, has led me to working on a series of photographs that explore imagery related to the emotional experience of that connection. Being located near water is associated with psychological, physical and emotional well-being. Today as we see imagery of the aftermath of buildings being destroyed daily around the world, do we still see “well-being” in the waters that surround our structures or do the reflections simply mirror or intensify the anxieties of our experience? Reflected is a series that consists of capturing building facades and urban infrastructure details reflected off of surrounding water surfaces. I use a camera with a full-spectrum sensor that records visual light waves, near-infrared light waves and near-ultraviolet light waves that result in abstract colours and details that are not all visible to the naked eye. While anticipating the colours and details captured in camera, I won’t know what I’ll be working with until the results are revealed in the digital files. This serendipity is part of the process as geometric patterns emerge as a result of different materials reflecting and absorbing the variety of light waves. While the man-made environments are static, the ripples of water and refracted lightwaves break up the reflections abstracting the rhythms of the structural elements and give form to the composition. The results after processing, editing and manipulating the files are surreal images reflecting a familiar and tangible yet unsettling world.
