Eight months and three weeks pregnant I had an urgent need to capture my state in an unusual way. Swollen feet, heavy boobs, protruding belly button and growing abdomen i felt like something not belonging to this world. To capture that moment I was looking for unusual environments, where gravity feels different. I found water the best medium to memorize those moments...peaceful, slow, whilst feeling close to what my baby is feeling while we where both emerged in "fluids". The whole process felt like a bonding project for us.
Execution -by Guzin Taskiran (camera) and Beata Kacy (edits)
With a simple underwater camera, some clothing from the local Thrift store, diving weights attached to my legs and a diving flashlight, my friend Guzin Taskiran and i entered the swimming pool with few expectations of success. To our surprise we loved the result. We managed to capture the moment of peace and happiness, light and delicate movements. After the pool adventure all the pictures went through my freeform creative digital processing to emphasize the moment plus removing all traces of what was a public swimming pool :)
