Since I was a little kid, water always fascinated me. At school they said our water resources were depleting but the globe was more blue than the land. Confused because every time I would shower, there was plenty of water running down.
Water forms a big part of our lives, literally and figuratively. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 1, 60% of our body is composed of water. I was 3 when my parents decided to give me swimming lessons. I was always afraid of drowning, and he told me, “You don’t drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there”. It’s a quote by Edwin Louis Cole.
I was 12 when I went to the beach for the first time, I don’t remember exactly how I felt or what I did. But when I was by the waters 2 years ago, I remember it calmed me- the voices of the waves clashing against each other. And since then I have been obsessed with the waters. Its fluidity, its ability to destroy everything and to bring everything to life.
Cedric Dasseson is a photographer who clicks images of water in its native form. These watercolor paintings were painted inspired from his visual imagery. This set of three artworks is called fluidity and based on the levels of sea, they are called – above sea level, at sea level and below sea level.
