H2O
CANADA
It is still. It rages. It ebbs and
flows. It trickles gently; it roars. It meanders, yet with
purposeful objective. It quenches, cleanses, and refreshes. It is
an essential life force within us and around us. Water.
Welcome to
Hera Bell's H2O Canada, a photographic journey of our country's
water sources in various forms, captured through the lens of a photographer
critically acclaimed for her edgy, erotic imagery.
In her third
exhibit at the Centaur Theatre's Ted T. Katz Family Trust Gallery, Bell conveys
the majesty of our waters with breathtaking splendour. In signature Hera
Bell style, the images in this display are luscious and sensual, seductive, as if
they depict a luxury not essential to life, the farthest notion from the truth.
It is no secret that our waters are dissipating through pollution and
climate change, being coveted and stolen through corporate greed. With an increasing
human population, it is a commodity that we must turn our respectful attention
towards. Simply stated, our survival depends on it.
