Sand Rhythms (2025-2026)

I usually walk along beaches with my eyes glued to the ground, in fascination of the music the water creates with the sand. When the sunshine illuminates the scene, there is a symphony of reflection and refraction as the light interacts with the waves and granules of rocks and minerals. Every stretch of sand on each beach sings a unique tune at every moment, colored by the weather, time of day, and time of year. This series is about capturing a few of those moments in their entirety, showcasing the rhythm, texture, and dynamics of ocean waves playing their instrument.
