“I hadn’t done any nudes until now,” says Toyber. “I have photographed a lot of girls in the sex industry, but I always had them dressed because they’re always exposed and I wanted to show their faces.” The Ukrainian artist and fashion photographer shot her fellow collaborators underwater to give the images a dreamy and tender quality. “It feels a little embryonic and evokes birth,” she says. The photos also symbolize a more global form of nurturing. “Water is a resource that we need to protect. Its future scarcity threatens our survival.”
