( X ) ( 2013 - 2023 )

(X) is an introspective meditation on the interplay between the natural rhythms of the sea and the human experience of time. Captured over the course of a decade from a single coastal cliff top position, these images offer a unique and contemplative perspective on the ever-changing patterns of an Australian bombora.

As swells intersect and patterns form and fade, the images capture the ephemeral moments that make up the passing of time. Each moment is distilled into a rich blend of colour, movement, and atmosphere, capturing the essence of the sea in all its majesty.

Liken to the muse, the resulting images are unrepeatable, each a subtle iteration of the last, conveying a sense of the impermanence and fragility of all things. They evoke a deeper sense of place and a longing for the sea, reminding us of beauty that is forever fleeting and the perpetual nature of life.
