I took this photo near a dance studio in Berlin. There was no pool, lake, or river nearby, but I used the reflection in a puddle on the ground to introduce water into the scene. In this way, the woman appears to be on the verge of diving, even though, at that moment, she was actually “diving” into one of the steps of the choreography she was rehearsing.

Each image is an act of world-making.

Always a little submerged
