Adrift, 2011, was recently photographed at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center in Orange, Texas. Reminiscent of an impressionist painting and invoking a romantic mood, the surrealist and dream-like color photograph captures the reflection of cypress trees in a pond containing floating leaves.
Juror Sylvia de Swaan selected the photo from approximately 950 photographs submitted internationally to be included in the exhibit. Born in Romania, de Swaan is a New York-based fine art photographer whose photographic work focuses on “themes that include personal history, individual and collective memory and identity, the state of the world and the neighborhood where I live. I’m interested in the construction of narrative and how meaning is created through juxtaposition and editing.”
Photoplace Gallery has posted an online gallery of Again: Reflections and Photography.
