A bride floats underwater in a world of stillness and surrender.
Shot entirely without CGI or breathing gear, we relied only on breath and trust.
The dress became a sculpture, shaped by water’s gentle motion.
Natural light refracted into halos across her skin.
Trained in freediving and Japanese zen-training with a waterfall, I sought presence over performance.
Her reflection evokes duality—memory and self.
In an age of digital artifice, this is real light, real water, real breath.
Beauty, I believe, can breathe underwater.
