Revealing the sensuality and elegance of women throughout the most exotic waters of the world . Sweet engages minerals like mica , diamond dust , and glass on the image , Sweet ’ s mixed-medium approach offers an otherworldly experience . Sweet ’ s work mimics elements of her shooting environments and creates “ effects like the glisten that occurs when the sun kisses the sea .” The photographic images and encased materials coalesce into a stunning , seemingly three dimensional representation of the subject . The subjects in this series are radiant displays of female beauty .
