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.

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.

Christy Lee Rogers’ scarves bring her signature underwater photography to life on luxurious 100% silk. Each piece captures ethereal figures, fluid movement, and vibrant colors, evoking the drama and elegance of Baroque and Renaissance painting. More than accessories, they are miniature canvases where art, mythology, and nature flow together, celebrating grace, beauty, and the power of creativity.
