Christy Lee Rogers debuts her photographic works entitled, Odyssey, in the Expose Gallery demonstrating how she experiments with water, space and movement to capture ethereal portraits and emotional narratives while exploring the flexible nature of the earth bound human body. Her subjects bend and distort; bathing in darkness, isolated by light, and brought to life by one's own imagination. Her images resemble Baroque paintings mastering the chiaroscuro qualities of Italian painter Caravaggio.
