In Christy Lee Rogers' p//h 5, a lone figure drifts beneath the surface in ordained stillness, framed by a chiaroscuro interplay of light and shadow. Bathed in deep neutral tones, her flowing garment undulates like liquid silk. The Baroque lighting sculpts her body in dramatic contrast—illuminating folds and flickers of skin, casting deep pools of darkness around her limbs.

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.

Christy Lee Rogers' Venus Rising reimagines Botticelli's iconic The Birth of Venus through a contemporary, Baroque-inspired lens. In this luminous underwater tableau, a central figure ascends from a fabric-sculpted shell, supported by two figures at the base. The composition evokes the classical myth of Venus's emergence from the sea, symbolizing beauty, purity, and divine grace. Rogers' use of chiaroscuro lighting and fluid motion imbues the scene with a sense of timeless elegance and ethereal beauty.
