In Deep Blue, a figure rises through the luminous blue, her multicolored dress billowing outward in waves of magenta and violet. Her face is eclipsed by a bloom of pink fabric, identity dissolved in the act of rising. Sutera Sardo transforms submersion into ceremony, the underwater world into a space of becoming.

Carla Sutera Sardo (b. Agrigento, 1983) is a Sicilian photographer whose practice explores the female figure and the dialogue between body and landscape, often through dreamlike, suspended imagery. Her work has been published in L'Oeil de la Photographie and Vogue Italia, recognized by the Sony World Photography Awards and Siena Photography Awards, and exhibited internationally in cities including London, Paris, and Florence.
