At the Onsen, A journey to stillness

The heat is the first thing you feel, the intense warmth enveloping you, drawing you in. The sound of the water, easing your senses. It’s as if you’ve left the weight of life outside, beyond the door, as you breathe into the quietness, sinking into the water, the heat seeping through your skin.

At the onsen is the new collection of artworks by Scottish fine art photographer Soo Burnell. Following on from her highly acclaimed poolside collections that feature historic and contemporary swimming pools across the UK and Europe, Soo’s new series takes the viewer on a journey to Japan.
