As a passionate swimmer and skier, water has always held a special place in my heart, it endlessly captivates and inspires me. With this series, I embarked on a global journey to capture the diverse and enchanting manifestations of water. Water symbolizes freedom, fluidity, and the ever-changing wonders of life. It embodies the duality of constant transformation and timeless presence. 

 

From the serene Mediterranean Sea, to the patterns left on the sand by the Pacific Ocean tides, to a mesmerizing Costa Rican waterfall and the surreal stillness of the Dead Sea, I seek to capture the essence of water and to ignite a sense of wonder and awe within viewers. Additionally, I photographed the ethereal allure of clouds observed from airplane windows, the mystifying veils of fog across winter landscapes, and the ever-changing dance of air in harmony with water.

 

In David Foster Wallace’s essay, «This is Water,» he shares the tale of two young fish swimming side by side, encountering an elder fish swimming in the opposite direction. The elder fish greets them with a nod and asks, «Morning, boys, how’s the water?» The two young fish swim on for a while, until one of them finally turns to the other and inquires, «What the hell is water?». This anecdote resonates deeply with me, emphasizing the significance of appreciating what we often overlook and finding beauty in even the most ordinary aspects of life.

 

Water, in its myriad forms, serves as my muse. With each photograph, I hope to awaken a newfound appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us, to instill a reverence for nature’s boundless wonders.
