My Water Abstraction series focuses on the movements of water. Using an abstract style in my photographs emphasizes focus on the whole photograph. I employ close up photographs of the water’s surface, mainly focusing on the movement and texture.

With each photograph in my Water Abstraction series, I am expressing my personal emotions. The movement of the water represents an emotion that I have specifically chosen for it. Scientific research states that color can affect emotions. I utilize color in each of my pieces to visually communicate the emotion that I am demonstrating in each water abstraction.

I pair writing with each photograph rather than giving a title. Writing dives deeper into the emotion that I want to convey with the abstract photographs of water. A haiku is in place of a title for each image.  A haiku is a Japanese poem form that consists of three lines; five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Using a poem as a title expands the idea of expressing the emotion assigned to each photograph, such as anger, endearment, the feeling of loss, or freedom. 

I believe that images can strongly speak to viewers to the point of evoking feelings. With the Water Abstraction series, I want to demonstrate my emotions visually for the viewer to, in a way, empathize with me and feel each chosen emotion from my point of view.
