The fine spray of the breaking water merges with falling rain, blurring the boundary between sea and sky. The images focus on the structure and energy of the wavesformed under dramatic weather conditions and shaped by wind, depth, and coastal topography. Each frame isolates a brief moment of collapse and

the photographs reveal wave formations and surface textures that are usually too quick to perceive with the naked eye
