How to bring the couture dress into a surreal dimension? Water creates an abstract element to shed the ordinary seams of designer couture dresses by recreating the beauty of jellyfish, realism and poetry are at the heart of these images which were inspired by modern artist Bill Alto and the classic Everett Millais and his work "Ophelia".
