Underwater Artist Christy Lee Rogers Unveils Her Latest Collection, “Luminescence”

Light has captivated humanity since time immemorial—its glow long associated with spiritual freedom, healing, vitality, and the very essence of life. Through photosynthesis, light fuels creation on our planet, carrying energy that sustains all living things. In her new collection, Luminescence, Christy Lee Rogers draws on this profound power as a metaphor for the human spirit: the ability, when focused on the positive, to generate energy that uplifts and transforms the world around us.

Captured in deep, pitch-black pools, her figures are illuminated by intense underwater spotlights, their bodies glowing like beacons in the dark. Christy explores the idea that light surrounds us, invisible yet ever-present, much like the hidden wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some images, bursts of color form weightless, nondescript shapes, evoking otherworldly life in a science-fiction-like reality. Through Luminescence, she invites viewers to dive into the unseen depths of consciousness, to encounter the luminous energy within themselves, and to awaken their own radiant light in the world.
