Ela Zubrowska’s latest series Water to Water is an ode to the oft forgotten life essential. Referentially we have this: “the total amount of water in a man of average weight is approximately 40 liters, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age… the human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult female.” While these statistics are consistently incredible and certainly relevant to the topic, the more alluring outcome of the work is the stripped away facade of both substance and subject. Zubrowska pairs photographs of revealed liquidity with portraits of individuals who are soaking wet and strangely vulnerable.
