About the entry
Some of the most iconic works in art history held up an impossibly ideal image of beauty. Today, we grapple with the perfect pictures we see in the media, just as these classic paintings must once have provoked. The Nephelai were mythological nature spirits who brought water to the heavens in pitchers made of clouds. The depiction of nymphs was as beautiful young women dancing across the sky with billowing dresses. The swimming pool becomes both studio and stage and celebrates the power of photography as a tool for self-discovery, self-acceptance and, ultimately, self-love.
