I find a melancholy beauty in aquariums. The creatures dance with such grace and fluidity in their confined walls. I always wonder if they're gazing back at us? Rays are particularly lovely in their angelic way and I find them to be the most beautiful beings.
For me, water is symbolically connected to emotion. Nearly all of the dreams I can recall take place in or around water. Its mysterious energy is truly hard to explain. That feeling comes on of being infinitesimally small when staring out at the sea, diving into a lake, or moving through aquariums (planetariums too). These photographs remind me of the eerie meditative and reflective spaces of our minds.
The above photos echo the sentiment that sometimes it feels as though we are but mere shadows and reflections floating through life, just like the creatures we pay to see.
