In Riders of the Light, Christy Lee Rogers captures three ethereal figures ascending from the depths, their forms illuminated by a divine glow that pierces the surrounding darkness. Photographed underwater at night, this image evokes the grandeur of Baroque painting, with its dramatic contrasts and fluid motion. The figures, reminiscent of angels, rise as symbols of resilience and hope, offering a poignant reflection on the strength and vulnerability of humanity.

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.
