Beauty And The Bath
To bathe in public is to achieve a state of emotional suspension, somewhere between feeling vulnerable and feeling okay in your own skin. To bare that kind of exposure in front of a camera is a feat in itself, and it's captured so gracefully in Jennette Williams's photos of women bathers.
It's a metaphor in itself; so many concepts of birth and beauty, culture and identity are present in the barest form, the simplest state of being. Williams's platinum prints are the perfect match for this ethos—they elevate beauty to the sublime.
