The red rose is a symbol of unrelenting love, here juxtaposed against a deep dark void. These images are not intended as an homage, but instead act as a social commentary on how we ourselves are drowning in a society that is dominated by a reverence towards branding and celebrity.
These images were all shot underwater working with the subtle distortions of light from the waters own wave energy. They were captured 'in camera' without the use of post production, either traditional or digital.
