Susan G Sancomb presents: Drifting East
Water is my place of return—a source of solace, reflection, and quiet wonder. Through black and white photography, I explore its ever-shifting forms as both subject and spirit. Stripping away color, I focus on light, movement, shape and texture to reveal water’s abstract and symbolic qualities. These moments are meditative—part observation, part recognition.
Rooted in a lifelong connection to nature and shaped by the influence of my father, my work seeks not to capture the expected but to see water differently—less as scenery, more as an ever-changing symbol where patterns emerge and vanish, where the ordinary becomes almost sacred. It holds stories—of memory, resilience, climate, and calm—and speaks in a visual language that is fluid and elusive.
These images are invitations to slow down, to look again, and offer viewers a still point, an opening, a way of experiencing water not as background, but as presence.
