Artwork Description

 about this Digital Photography

AQVA Splash captures a surreal underwater moment, where vibrant, shifting colors ripple and dance through the water. Fluid shapes and reflections transform ordinary forms into dreamlike distortions, offering a playful exploration of identity and perception.

The suspended movement evokes a sense of weightlessness, merging serenity with subtle energy in a luminous, immersive environment. Every detail, from abstract forms to delicate color gradients, invites viewers to linger in this fantastical, liquid world of imagination.

AQVA series by Carla Sutera Sardo explores underwater form, color, and movement. Inspired by Sicily’s natural elements, floral and abstract shapes are immersed in water. The pieces capture suspended worlds of vivid hues, surreal textures, and shifting reflections. The series evokes both serenity and motion, blending stillness with dynamic fluidity in a liquid realm.
