Seascape nominee

Through photography, I wanted to transform this impressive, gigantic and static sculpture into a dramatic, life-filled surrealistic snake skeleton. My goal was to create a spectacular polyptych, full of surrealistic drama. The implementation of the idea required a specific ocean swell.
