Challenges the visual intelligibility of landscape aesthetics by imagining the experiences of one Violet Jessop, a steward on-board all three sister ships of the White Star Line – the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic – while each suffered varying degrees of collision and wreckage at sea. I SWIM NOW evokes the intense brutality and repetition of Violet's unique physical interactions with nature through an expansive accumulation of optical printing techniques and manipulations.
