 This image is from a series titled Horizon. The images are all taken from the same spot off the coast of Sydney, Australia. A study of the elements. Unlike traditional landscapes with light falling on the land and illuminating features, seascapes contain no solid structure, just the basic elements of water, air, and light, interacting and playing off each other. The sky visually shifts with moisture, wind and layers of cloud, all making every moment fleeting and unique. The ocean constantly changes it’s surface under the effects of the wind altering the way the light engages and reflects off it.   With chaos and randomness seemingly ruling how the elements combine, finding a hint of balance, symmetry or order amongst it sometimes seems impossible. Without a means to predict what’s coming, the moment sometimes passes before the comprehension. The one tangible feature throughout this series is the horizon. In this continually changing landscape it anchors every scene, provides a solid point of focus and something to build upon and yet as anyone who has sailed towards it knows, the horizon is none of these things.
