Sea Tears is a visual ode to the enigmatic beauty of marine life, centering on the timeless and ethereal presence of jellyfish. These ancient beings, with their delicate fluidity, become the central thread of the narrative, bridging the distant past of Earth's oceans with their fragile present. Their translucent forms float in the deep, embodying both grace and resilience, inviting reflection on the mysteries of the marine ecosystem.
The title "Sea Tears", inspired by a poetic name given to jellyfish, evokes a sense of connection between the human and marine realms. It suggests a silent, almost melancholic reverence for the oceans, where humans stand as contemplative figures within the visual narrative, engaged in a profound dialogue with the sea's depths. Their gazes and postures communicate a shared sense of awe, curiosity, and responsibility for the delicate balance of life beneath the waves.
The series is bathed in a liquid, almost primordial darkness, captured through the stark contrast of black and white photography. This choice highlights the intrinsic tension between light and shadow, echoing the complex and fragile relationship between humanity and the ocean. Each photograph embodies a timeless, meditative quality, immersing the viewer in the serene yet vulnerable beauty of marine existence.
