States of Water

States of Water is an ongoing series focused on transformation, instability, and the temporary structures formed by water.

Ice crystals, salt deposits reflections, and movement become visible through analogue photographic processes, turning short-lived natural events into physical images.

Frozen Forms VI

lumen Print, 2026

Formed through moisture, sunlight and shifting temperatures during exposure.

40 - 60 cm

IceFlower IV

cyanotype, 2025

Branching frost patterns formed across the paper and held through development.

40 - 50 cm

Like Saltwater II

cyanotype on Paper, 2025

Made in the Indian Ocean shorelines over several days, where seawater and drying salt built layered crystal deposits

60 - 60 cm

IceFlower III

cyanotype on paper, 2025

Produced during a freeze-thaw cycle as morning light-exposed the surface.

50 - 70 cm

River Traces II

lumen Print, 2025

Placed in a shallow stream where sand, and moving water left traces across the surface.

50 - 60 cm

IceFlower I

cyanotype on paper, 2025

Made only under specific combinations of humidity, frost and UV conditions

60 - 80 cm

Frozen Forms V

Lumen Print, 2026

Crystals formed on photographic paper overnight, then selectively exposed through controlled night light.

70 - 120 cm

Like Saltwater V

cyanotype on paper, 2025

Repeated contact with Indian Ocean water created dense salt growth and fine crystalline veins.

60 - 80 cm

IceFlower VI

cyanotype on paper, 2025

Ice-crystals formed directly on the coated paper overnight and were exposed by the rising sun.

24 - 32 cm

River Traces VI

lumen Print, 2026

Capturing water movements, stones and sediments of a mountain river.

40 - 60 cm
