The inspiration for my artistic work is rooted in my fascination with how thoughts, emotions, and perceptions shape human behavior and individual and collective experiences. Through my creative process, I transform these intangible aspects into tangible expressions, bringing forth enigmatic inner worlds and offering viewers new avenues of discovery.

 

Beneath the ocean's surface, I explore an alternate realm, much like an uncharted planet, governed by distinct laws. Gravity, equilibrium, visibility, and temperature present both opportunities and challenges. Unpredictable currents may carry subjects in unexpected directions, creating disarray yet interest, and shifting gravity demands adaptation and yields unique physical expressions.

 

In the series Emergence, I capture a sequence of underwater encounters featuring a figure jumping into the vast blue space of the Red Sea. Positioned underwater, my lens records the initial moments of this human interaction with the sea, where each photograph reveals intricate details from a scene that exists for just a fraction of a second. The unique temporary landscapes symbolize an exploration of entry into the new and the unknown, reflecting a dynamic interplay of emotions and transformations.

 

Some frames seize the rapid descent of the figure, leaving behind trails of white bubbles as they enter the unknown—an embodiment of the emotional turbulence accompanying a leap into uncharted waters, evident in their postures and expressions. In contrast, other photographs portray suspended moments—jumpers seemingly frozen in the blue expanse. Here, figures emerge from, or dissolve into, the nebulous white clouds of uncertainty, inviting viewers to contemplate the delicate nature of transitional states.

Like my other projects, this body of work captures real moments of human-nature interactions. This direct contact with nature transforms the sea into a co-creator, allowing its inherent creativity and unpredictability to shape both the experience and the creation. In its tangible form, the creative work also serves as an experiment in which I explore the never-ending variety of singular forms created by this interaction I initiate, observing the transient encounters that typically elude the eye.

Through authentic interaction with the ocean—the embodiment of the abstract and the unknown—the series deepens its symbolic meaning, inviting reflection on human relationships with the new and uncertain.
