"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." — Loren Eiseley
To me, the open sea has its own rhythm: slow, deep, and unpredictable. In the water, the human body doesn't move with a plan. Instead, it is shaped by the currents, the changing light, and the quiet weight of the sea.
These photographs are not staged or choreographed. They capture real, quiet moments: a breath held, a body letting go, a shape carried by the water. For me, the sea is a partner in this process. It softens sharp lines, changes how the body moves, and shows a different kind of truth. A hidden one.
At the same time, color and black-and-white photos come together naturally, depending on the light and the depth of the water. The sea itself decides what stays bright and what fades into shadow. Ultimately, this work explores how we move when gravity disappears and instinct takes over.
From the ongoing Nereids Photo Project‑inspired body of work.
