⍆ Shot in the Canary Islands, late 2022 on a phone shrouded in translucent plastic, the series explores humans’ connection to nature through the lens of free diving.
Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman taught us that framing a belief, a question, a ‘truth’ can undermine or enforce its validity. On terra firma the surrounding atmosphere frames our existence, our sense of self, who we are and what we can achieve. Our truth.
In the realm below the water’s surface the framing changes, our mental and physical vulnerabilities are tested. The experience, if endured for long enough, leads to new truths where the industrialised eye can once again see nature as a teacher, asking us whether humans as the ‘pinnacle of evolution’ or the ones with the least experience and the most to learn.
