Elina Brotherus made this photograph in Connecticut of a woman standing in a river, and it's all about feeling the water. The palette is muted; it’s the kind of colour scheme where everything seems to blend and flow together. The woman’s dress becomes almost one with the river itself. Look at the ripples and how they play across the surface, creating a sense of movement and depth. The rocks in the foreground are solid and still, a stark contrast to the flowing water. The woman is in the river, she's looking down and touching the water as if checking the temperature. Brotherus’ work often explores themes of identity, landscape, and the human form. Think of artists like Rineke Dijkstra, who also capture a sense of vulnerability and presence in their portraits. Art is never really fixed, right? It's always changing, always flowing.
