Where movement becomes abstraction.
Friction captures the collision of human movement and the restless energy of the ocean. An orange surfboard slices through a turbulent field of whitewater, while fragmented limbs and blurred textures dissolve the distinction between subject and surroundings.
The photograph abandons the conventional clarity of surf imagery, embracing motion, distortion, and the unpredictability of the moment. Vivid color interrupts an otherwise muted palette, creating a striking contrast between the physical and the abstract.
Neither entirely figurative nor purely abstract, Friction transforms a fleeting encounter with the ocean into a visceral study of energy, color, and movement.
Printed on Hahnemühle fine art paper with archival pigment to preserve the photograph's rich colors, luminous highlights, and intricate textures. Each print includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the artist.
This work is limited to 20 editions and will not be reproduced.
The image is 16”x24” with 1” borders.
Thank You.
