Quintessence captures Calida Rawles’ ongoing exploration of water, light, and the layered dimensions of presence, reimagined here through the framework of the fifth element which is believed to exist beyond fire, earth, air, and water. Printed on silver leaf, the work carries a natural shimmer that shifts with movement. Rawles’ fluid imagery and the reflective metallic surface merge to create a sense of suspended luminosity, as if the figure and the elements converge. In this print, water becomes both grounding and transcendent, an elemental portal through which Rawles contemplates the unseen forces, the atmospheric, and cosmic, that shape the world we inhabit.
