The project Agua is driven by Denisse's obsession with humans and the human experience. Her work aims to explore, expose and honor the beauty she sees in others. The theme of water, very present in her work, allows him to approach beings by dissolving facades and removing walls to celebrate what is inside. From the coldest streams of Scandinavia to the warm pink lakes of Senegal, Agua is an intimate journey and human exploration that captures the vital and magical relationship between humans and water.
“I keep coming back to water scenes. I keep coming back to lakes, rivers, and oceans. I like to explore the interaction of people with water. Water can disarm even the most heavily armed facades. Becoming one with water is not about rushing but rather about flowing. And flowing is the closest thing to being.”
