Although Cohen has been a photographer for over twenty-five years, she has never photographed nature. It always seemed too perfect and too sacred to capture. For her to make an image that would be a worthy reflection of creation seemed impossible. More than that, she was never inspired to photograph nature - it never showed her how to look at it creatively. Having lived in New York and Los Angeles, Cohen had always been fascinated by the creativity and activity of human nature. The natural world was for breathing in, a vast landscape of atmosphere she knew not how to penetrate.

Spending time in desert thermal springs under the blazing sun, which shimmered in the arid winds, she was transformed by the water and began shooting. Ultra close-up. No context. Completely abstract. From there, she began to photograph water wherever she went - Bali, Brazil, Bosnia, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, the Zambezi, the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, water falls, canals, creeks, pools, hot springs, etc. These lush abstractions of water are meant to inspire reflection and harmony in the midst of the turmoil of ultra-modern society.
