The photography work of Karen Glaser is magical and mysterious. Karen Glaser’s work allows us to take a peek into the [murky, watery world of swamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-soaps-collection) from a different perspective.

Going through the gallery of her work on Florida’s sinkholes, viewers get to observe the world from a fish’s view--one that looks up into our world. The effect is beautiful and just makes me want to see more.

Doesn’t Karen Glaser's work make you wonder if this is how the ['Little Mermaid'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection) saw things?
