This photo shows a rippling sea on the coast of Sri Lanka. The image was taken from a low vantage point, with only the moving water in view. No horizon is visible, releasing the sense of space and direction. The focus is entirely on the structure of the waves and the pattern the water makes. Small waves gently roll towards the shore, and soft lines and light reflections are created on the surface of the ocean.
With the horizon missing, the image becomes more abstract and takes on a more graphic character. Yet it remains clearly recognisable as a seascape. The colour tones are cool and calm, with shades of grey, blue and a little white foam from the water. The picture was taken on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, where the Indian Ocean meets the coastline.
This undulating sea shows the relationship between movement and calm, between nature and abstraction. The water is constantly moving, but in the photo, time seems to stand still for a moment. Images like this fit well with a series on ocean landscapes, where the emphasis is on detail and simplicity.
The photo is suitable for anyone interested in ocean photography, coastal landscapes and the visual play of light and water.
