In Storm Surf #6850, a breaking wave rises almost vertically from the rock shelf before being torn apart by wind and light. Its temporary shape becomes the centre of a much larger landscape of layered surf, cloud and atmospheric haze.
The photograph is about the instant before form disappears. Water briefly becomes something solid and sculptural, standing against the scale of the sky before collapsing back into the sea. Dawn light softens the violence without diminishing it—the coast remains restless, but for a fraction of a second its chaos finds a shape.
