The Swim Cure

If you've ever felt the need to break out of your own depressive headspace, this zine is like the refreshing shock of plunging into cold water. The Swim Cure is a photographic chronicle of a year spent pushing back against depression by swimming, dunking, and diving in bodies of water around the artist's home in Portland, Oregon. These rich photographs combining landscape and portraiture offer a raw glimpse into this potent ritual shared with friends, family, and the earth. May the beauty of these images and the practice that birthed them help to wash some of your own blues away.
