Shot from helicopters, the work removes horizon and scale, transforming recognisable environments into near-abstract surfaces shaped by pressure, temperature, and time. Moving from warm waters to colder environments, the series traces a quiet shift from flow to fracture, from permeability to brittleness.

Taken across Malta, Mauritius, Iceland, St. Moritz (Switzerland), and Lake Como (Italy), the images are linked by recurring visual elements such as edges, seams, and cracks, moments where materials meet without fully merging. Many of the conditions captured exist only briefly and cannot be repeated in the same way.

Surface Tension invites slow and attentive looking, foregrounding colour, structure, and material tension over narrative or spectacle.
