Bess Irissa - "Pool Life #17" - XL

Work from the "Pool Life " 2024 series.

The "Pool Life" series is an evocative collection that delicately balances the allure of simplicity with subtle, almost erotic undertones. It presents a sequence of compositions featuring women poised at the cusp of tranquil swimming pools. Each image is a study in the purity of form and the intimate connection between the subject and the serene water that stretches out before them.

The series taps into the quiet intensity of moments often overlooked — the stillness before a swim, the contemplative gaze into azure waters, and the soft interplay of light and shadow that dances across the surface. These elements coalesce to create a narrative that is as pure as it is provocative.
