Euphoros. What the Water Gave Us: Chapter II

"Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries - stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region". (H. Melville)

The photographic exploration "Euphoros. What the Water Gave Us: Chapter II" is continuing to think about water as our connective element and the complex entanglement of the living. I take my cue from Claudia Egerer, who considers not only the close affinities of water and imagination, but also takes into account the age old links between the human and natural experience that suddenly assume new urgency.

Chapter II of the project is journeying into the state of water euphoria, a feeling of elation, happiness and well-being, one that is groundless and somewhat disproportionate to its cause. As opposed to euphoria's possible marriage to known negative connotations, I welcome you to think of the original meaning of of the word, that of being borne well and healthy. In search of universal human experiences and collective resilience, this is an open invitation to pay attention and

figure out your own agenda for deep adaptation.

All in the presence of water, of course. The journey continues.

The photographs were produced in Lithuania, United Kingdom and France so far.
