17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Aquaphobia

This photo, one of twelve others in a concentrated portfolio on phobias, portrays drowning. In my portfolio, I used myself as the model to gain a closer relationship with each phobia I captured. The black paint provides the dark feeling of drowning. Fear and panic take over the body as everything goes dark. The three different heads represent the spinning and confusion that takes place before a drowning victim is taken over by death.
