Kate Lionis, Baptism (People 2021)

Baptism is an exploration of the ritual. The idea of bathing and cleansing is synonymous with entering a new part a humans development or life. The process of submerging oneself is an act of letting go and allowing the next stage of your life to come with ease. The white cloth that is depicted though the imagery is a nod to the idea of purity we place on this ritual.
