Lift is a tender meditation on the in-between, between movement and stillness, presence and memory. In this work, Johanna Bath captures a fleeting bodily gesture, partially obscured, softened through her signature blur and muted, sun-washed palette. It’s as if we’re witnessing a moment half-remembered, seen through a veil of time. The figure is cropped, faceless, and ungrounded, allowing the viewer to project their own emotional residue onto the form.
Bath's nuanced approach to femininity and sensuality is evident here, not through overt display, but through intimacy, tension, and absence.
