“Balance” intimately captures two figures, one with dark skin and one with light, embracing underwater. Masterful use of light and color brings the scene to life, with refracted sunlight creating reflective patterns on bodies and water. Expressions and body language convey deep trust, affection and mutual support. Fluid forms and gentle water movement evoke tranquility and unity.
Jester’s pool series explores gay life online and in apps – how individuals present themselves and treat one another. The pool represents an isolated yet connected environment, highlighting distorted views of others inside and out.
