About the series:
"The water, the beach and the open sea" is a contemplative photo series exploring the timeless dialogue between land and ocean. Blending color and black-and-white imagery, the collection moves fluidly between analog and digital mediums, capturing both the rawness and subtle poetry of coastal landscapes. Long-exposure shots transform crashing waves into silky veils, while crisp frames freeze fleeting details—ripples in wet sand, footprints disappearing at the shoreline. Each photograph speaks to the rhythm of nature, where water meets rock, light dissolves into mist, and the horizon remains ever just out of reach. The juxtaposition of formats—grainy film beside ultra-sharp digital—invites viewers to reflect on perception, memory, and change. Whether captured under moody skies or in golden sunlight, every image in the series is rooted in a deep respect for the sea’s shifting moods and the quiet power of its presence. This is not just a series about place, but about feeling.
