Sub-Aqua

Sub-Aqua refers to the things that take place beneath the surface. Inspired by small bodies of water that hold within their shallow depths, worlds of activity. The layers of leaves that touch and form patterns on the surface are works of art onto themselves.

Yet so deep impressed
Sink the sweet scenes of childhood, that mine eyes
I never shut amid the sunny ray,
But straight with all their tints thy waters rise,
Thy crossing plank, thy marge with willows grey,
And bedded sand that, veined with various dyes,
Gleamed through thy bright transparence! On my way,
Visions of childhood! oft have ye beguiled
Lone manhood’s cares, yet waking fondest sighs:
Ah! that once more I were a careless child!

– Sonnet: To the River Otter by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
