Suzanne Saroff’s “Perspective” series offers a mesmerizing journey through the ordinary, transformed into the extraordinary. Utilizing the simple elements of glass and water, she bends the light around her subjects, creating images that challenge our perception of reality. Her photographs, a blend of still life and optical illusion, invite viewers to explore the familiar in an unfamiliar way.
The distortion of food and plants through the glass results in a visual feast that is both thought-provoking and aesthetically pleasing. Saroff’s work is a testament to the power of perspective, reminding us that there is always more than one way to see the world around us.
Taking shape via shadows or fragmentations, my subjects often become more than the singular and expected version of themselves. By utilizing clear forms like cylinders and glasses of water, a watermelon can be multiplied, stretched and flipped as it dances and contorts within the walls of overlapping glass.
