Goggle Girl - Kirsten Courtenay

Goggle Girl

Just water, sunshine and nowhere else to be.

Goggle Girl captures one of those completely unposed childhood moments, a carefree stance, caught mid-action, with not a thought given to how you look or what anyone else thinks.

Kristen Courtenay brings that feeling to life through the irresistible blue of the pool behind her. The water feels almost tangible, sparkling, inviting and full of the promise of a hot summer day spent swimming until your fingers wrinkle.

There’s nostalgia here, but also something wonderfully simple: the freedom of childhood, when happiness could be as easy as sunshine on your skin and cool water beneath your feet.

For Small Wonders, Goggle Girl celebrates the little moments we often don’t realise are special until years later.
