VARIATIONS ON THE THEME OF SEA
The sea is a place I return to again and again to explore and experience its continual transformation. In this series of images I treat the ever-changing ocean as the central motif: a constant presence that is never the same twice, where each photograph is a response to a specific moment, shaped by light, movement, weather, and my own state of mind.
Rather than trying to document a particular coastline or event, this series is concerned with perception and atmosphere. The images move between representation and abstraction, allowing waves, rocks, and shorelines to morph into rhythm, texture, and tone. I am drawn to fleeting moments like when water lifts or collapses, or when it catches and shapes light before it reforms into something else.
The individual titles reflect this approach, for the most part suggesting emotional or elemental states rather than fixed locations. They act as entry points, inviting the viewer to slow down and engage intuitively with each image. Seen together, the photographs form a sequence that echoes the sea’s own cycles of repetition and variation.
Ultimately, this work is about attention and presence. By returning repeatedly to the same subject, I aim to reveal subtle differences, quiet dramas, and shifting moods and to acknowledge the sea not just as a landscape, but as a living, transformative force that resists singular interpretation.
