Intersections

Wild swimmers stand at the intersection of earth, water and air, 3 of the 5 Classical Elements, and the fundamental phases of matter (solid, liquid and gas). We ourselves are a mix of these. Coming together to swim wild is a long, winding and improbable intersection of life paths, some significant element of which is revealed in the studio portraits. In swimming we are suspended, in a perfect harmony of air pressure, buoyancy and gravity. We inhabit the boundary layer between water and air and it’s our interactions, our mixing, our play that propels us.
