"Water is a carrier of the sensation of pleasure and water also absorbs many pollutants from the dark side. In my photography career I often looked for ways to emerge out of my little ‘hells,’ addictions, low points and this is probably why I explored the theme of hot springs and spas as it opened me to a world where imagination, adoration, cleansing and enjoyable abandon lingers.”
—Linda Troeller, Photographer
