Submission by Michael Kunzinger:

I look for images in reflections on the water's surface. Although the dreamlike designs are reminiscent of abstract paintings, they are entirely real, created by a combination of the angle of light, water texture, and other natural factors. No oils or digital touch-ups are used; the process begins and ends with the art created around us by nature.

The works explore water's potential as an artistic medium, as well as conversations surrounding how we perceive the ordinary in the world around us, and what constitutes something realistic versus the abstract. If the viewer sees the image on its own, it is abstract and non-representational; when viewed in light of how it is made, it becomes documentary, challenging the divide between the two. The difference lies in how we see.
