From the Shut Your Aperture archive (2014): these photographs tell a fictional, staged story. The figure’s role in the art does not establish the photographed person’s identity or circumstances today.

Purgatory

In the artist statement published with this series, Charico Miranda Cruz described a character trying to escape a still, watery purgatory. The sequence moves between immersion and floating to create suspense and a sense of isolation. This is the artist’s concept, not a report of an actual person in danger.
