Marine biologist Wallace J Nichols’ book Blue Mind explores how being in, near, on or by a body of water positively impacts our health and wellbeing. I grew up by the sea, and hate to stray too far from water; no surprise then that palm-shaded tree lines, speckled sand banks and attempts to ride the waves of tropical waters have become a constant theme in my work. From the sea’s rippled surface to drip-drying on the sand, these original images consider various perspectives of beach life.
