TTRRAANNSQCUEILNITDYENTAL

With the Transcendental Tranquility project I retreat into the vastness
of nature, distancing myself from the passage of time. There is only
light, the horizon, and the eternally moving water. The observation
returns to the basic elements, is distilled to the essence.

Throughout the years the project has become an essentially endless
series of unique, emotionally charged images, each one capturing a
brief moment in the life of this eternally changing seascape.

The sequential placement in a series and the repetitive nature of the
composition - water and sky sliced in half by the horizon - evoke an
almost meditative state, akin to what I felt at the moment I captured
the image.

The centralised placement of the horizon, which is an elemental
component of the composition in many of the images, simultaneously
imposes and deconstructs any form of hierarchy and convention within
photography and in the way it is viewed. Subtle changes in colour and
hue separate the sea from the sky and vice versa, and abstract the
transition between the two.

The layered, intriguing images exude a deceptive silence. They invite
repeated viewing, in which the observer drowns and obtains a sense
of peace that is so often lacking in our modern lives.

This is how Transcendental Tranquility balances on the intersection
of photography, painting, and film in terms of subject, layering, and
development. Alienation techniques, repetitiveness, and uncontrolled
motion blur create a twilight that allows room for reflection and
interpretation. Moments frozen in time, which start to move again the
longer you look, as if it were a movie, creating a new reality.
