Artwork description:

"Shapes of Water" is Karim Carella’s new photographic series for 2026, previewed at the end of 2025 through the presentation of three works.
Rooted in a minimalist and abstract approach to landscape, the series reduces form to its emotional essence, transforming water into a space of suspension and quiet introspection.

A subtle duality runs through the project: the darker images emerge from emotional unrest, while the lighter works, despite their apparent serenity, conceal a deeper desire for disappearance.
Light and darkness coexist as different states of the same inner landscape.
Here, one senses a need to dissolve silently into the image — suspended between presence and absence. (Adrian K. Garet)

SHAPES OF WATER #21
In Shapes of Water #21, the sea is reduced to an abstract flow of light and shadow, defined by a single diagonal movement that crosses the frame.
A luminous band emerges from the water’s surface, creating a quiet tension between motion and stillness.

The palette is soft and atmospheric: layered blue-grey and muted green tones form a calm visual field, while a subtle copper warmth traces the edge of the wave, introducing a restrained emotional contrast.
The long exposure dissolves detail into painterly textures, transforming the seascape into a suspended, meditative space.

This work invites a slow gaze — a moment of stillness where water becomes an emotional landscape, poised between presence and disappearance.
