Malike Sidibe, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical portrait features a Black man with short dark hair and a beard, shown from the chest up while submerged in a vibrant blue swimming pool. His eyes are closed and his head is tilted slightly upward with a calm expression. He rests both hands flat on the light gray concrete ledge at the pool's edge, revealing small star tattoos on his hands. Dynamic water ripples and shimmering light patterns cast golden and dark reflections across his chest and shoulders. The overhead perspective creates an intimate, serene mood.
