Photographed above Shark Bay, Western Australia, this aerial series explores the meeting point of tide, sediment, and shallow coastal waters.
From the air, tidal channels branch and merge across pale sand flats, carrying fine sediment through luminous blue currents. Mineral-rich earth introduces subtle tones of blush, ochre, and mauve that soften into surrounding water, creating surfaces that appear almost painted.
These formations are transient. Driven by tidal rhythm and wind, channels shift course, reshape sandbanks, and dissolve boundaries. What appears abstract is the result of continual exchange between land and sea.
By working from altitude, scale becomes ambiguous. Kilometres of coastline compress into gestures of line and tone, suggesting something intimate and biological — veins, currents, breath.
Together, the images consider movement as language: water writing and rewriting the surface of the earth, leaving traces that are delicate, temporary, and quietly powerful.
