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 #5
A single, slender wave crosses the frame like a whispered line of graphite, barely separating water from light.
Hovering between abstraction and seascape, this image belongs to the series Shapes of Water, where the sea is reduced to its most minimal form: a soft, continuous gesture that seems to stretch time rather than describe a place.

Here, almost nothing happens on the surface, yet a quiet emotional tension runs beneath the image, and the scene itself seems to open onto a fragile threshold between presence and disappearance.
