This black-and-white photograph shows a close-up of the sea on the coast of Sri Lanka. The composition is simple and focuses on the movement of the water. No horizon is visible, giving the image an abstract character. The light waves gently draw against the surface of the sea. Fine lines and structures, created by the natural waves, are visible in shades of grey.
Because the photo is in black and white, distracting colours disappear and the texture of the water comes to the fore. The play between light and shadow gives depth to the image. The small ripples in the water create a calm rhythm that runs across the entire picture plane. The lack of a horizon or other landmarks gives the picture an almost graphic effect.
The shot was taken on the coast of Sri Lanka, where the Indian Ocean washes against the land. This abstract approach to a familiar landscape invites you to look without directly naming what you see. The image is suitable for those interested in sea, detail and minimalist photography. This picture fits well within a series that combines nature and form in a calm style.
