Water Artist Christy Lee Rogers releases images and video works from her latest collection “Luminescence”

In physics, Luminescence is the ability of certain objects to generate light through the excited state of its atoms when exposed to frequencies like ultraviolet light – which Christy is using as a metaphor for our own ability, when we concentrate on the positive, to create energy that lifts the world around us. Via her new series, which uses deep, pitch black pools with models intensely illuminated by high powered under-water spot lights, Christy hopes to shine a light into the darkest depths of our consciousness to excite the urge for us to generate our own form of Luminescence.

“Floating Oasis” by Christy Lee Rogers

Light has captivated humanity since time immemorial, and has often been associated with spiritual freedom, health, healing and goodness; it is responsible for the creation of life on our planet through photosynthesis so the transport of energy by light plays a critical role in life itself.

Christy explores the ideas that light surrounds the human body but is invisible to the eye, just like many wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. Beyond light, she examines the idea of other life forms in a science fiction type of reality, where in some images, splashes of color create nondescript forms, in weightless spaces.
