Rebirth

  • Photographer
    Michael Potts

In my underwater work I seek moments of sublime peace (that fine line where the conscious and subconscious meet) and the creative chaotic (where energy is released that fine line is broken and the potential becomes kinetic). I see the water as a metaphor for a dream medium and I try to meet my subjects on that boundary and hope that we are able to take the viewer from tranquil peace to a burst of creation and back again.

I've worked with photography for over twenty years, seriously since 2015. My long-term project is real-life family moments where I photograph families 1-2 times per year in their homes or a regular setting. On the more artistic side I'm building a body of work that explores the nature and metaphor of the dream world.
