about this Digital Photography
Splash and Stripes blurs fashion editorial with visual satire. A figure floats in a striped swimsuit amid bright yellow bananas. These props double as protagonists, creating a playful, colorful scene. Distorted reflections, bold colors, and unexpected fruit challenge beauty norms and consumer imagery. The work winks at pop art while questioning conventional visual language.
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.
