Water Portraiture by Orianna Pavlik

This collection of photographs illustrates the healing nature of water, however mundane the setting. The succession of photographs narrates the subject entering the bath in vanity, and in conclusion, awakening in a pure state of consciousness.  For example, in the first photograph the subject bathes herself unaware of the water and only herself. However, in the second photograph she opens her eyes in contemplation of her surroundings. She reclines into the bath, submerging herself and her white dress in water. After emerging from the water, she opens her eyes, acknowledging herself and this moment. In the final photograph she rests in meditation of her new awareness.
