Formed entirely underwater on analogue film, the image allows optics, buoyancy and time to co‑author the composition. Gesture, gravity and buoyancy replace post‑production, producing textures unavailable to dry‑land photography. The abstract settles into a warm low light register, recalling Old Master chiaroscuro while remaining firmly contemporary. Printed to archival standards from an in‑camera film exposure, without CGI or AI.
