About The Artwork

“Portal” depicts a male figure from behind, body arched gracefully as he interacts with the water’s surface. Brilliant blues and shimmering reflections through exceptional use of light and color bring underwater depth and movement to life. The figure’s pose, one hand reaching the surface and the other extended behind, evokes a sense of freedom and fluidity reminiscent of dance.

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.
