In Après Nous Le Déluge, Kwaaitaal presents delicate, painterly floral still lifes, with flowers submerged in water and white streaks and swirls of ink, marking a shift away from digital manipulation. For Kwaaitaal, water evokes a sense of wonder and contemplation, shaping images that invite viewers to reflect on the ever-changing nature of perception. "I see myself as a painter with a camera. I focus not just on capturing a scene, but on actively composing and building up an image, much like a painter would with a canvas and brush. This mindset allows me to craft an entirely new, personal world.”
