Where Waters Meet

In his photographic series Where Waters Meet Charrière captured naked free divers descending into the abyss of aquatic caves in Mexico known as Cenotes. As the divers’ bodies are penetrating a chemocline - an obscure and uncanny layer of bottom water full of sulphurous bacteria - they are dissolving both in pictorial and metaphorical terms and are sinking not only deeper towards the bottom of the sea but also into their psyche, entering a state of being one with your surroundings which is often referred to as “oceanic feeling.”
