To explore subconscious fears and desires. The dark, fluid forms mimic the movement of water, while the subdued color palette evokes a sense of mystery and depth. The imagery speaks to the idea of diving into one’s own psyche, confronting what lies beneath the surface of consciousness. The play of light and shadow in these works suggests the struggle between revelation and concealment, emphasizing the theme of inner exploration.
A black-and-white photographs series printed on fine sketchbook paper, capturing the essence of submerged or aquatic-themed scenes.
The monochromatic palette highlights textures and contrasts, giving the images a dreamlike, almost surreal quality. The use of fine paper adds a tactile, handcrafted feel, bridging photography with traditional art forms.
This collection evokes the mystery and depth of the ocean, using light and shadow to explore themes of obscurity and revelation. The abstraction allows viewers to project their interpretations, making each piece a personal exploration of the unknown. The deliberate choice of black-and-white enhances the timeless and enigmatic nature of the sea, stripping away distractions and focusing on form and essence.
This approach aligns with Walkowicz’s broader artistic themes, where the unseen and the imagined take center stage, inviting contemplation and introspection.
