What if we lived in a world that saw water as holy, alive, and worthy of devotion like we do the gods and goddesses of human likeness? How would that change our understanding of water? How would that change our understanding of God?
This conceptual fine art photography series, "If Water Was God", explores the imagination of a new world of reverence and caring devotion to the waters that run around and through us. It looks critically at the dominant religions of our time and how those have shaped our worldview and fostered a disconnection from nature and personal, empowered spirituality.
These images invite the viewer to reconsider the gods and heroes of our current paradigm and start looking for inspiration outside our human stories. If Water Was God, we could see ourselves in its reflection. We could reimagine our story as thirst quenchers, life givers, essential and connected to all life on earth.
