Twitter Trends This beautiful photo series by Simon Harsent is
mesmerizing enough on its own without the knowledge that it was
inspired by a David Harsent poem. The way the graceful subject
twists and turns under water is both dynamic and serene. It’s as
though she’s moving effortlessly through air rather than the
dense matter that is H2O. Once viewers become aware that this
hypnotic series is actually inspired by ‘Into the Abyss,’ their
enjoyment of the series exponentially increases as they can
apply that narrative to these images.  Simon Harsent captures
the essence of the poem by depicting a girl exploring the green
and blue ocean. The light that pierces the surface of the water
is representative of the first part of ‘Into the Abyss,’ while
the deep, dark-blue color of the bottom of each picture
symbolizes the abyss the protagonist eventually journeys into.
