The painting incorporates the artist's fascination with the human figure within her more 'scenic' approach. As a result the immersive effect is present both literally and figuratively. While the challenge in drawing a human figure from life is to ground the figure in space, here the artist's goal was to achieve an illusion of weightlessness which one experiences when one is submersed in water. The painting is part of a series-in-progress, which is inspired by philosopher Michel Serres, who advises us to throw ourselves into the ocean of the world in order to experience somatic encounters with our environment.
