#3 - FREEDOM TO DISAPPEAR

The glacial lake of Jokulsarlon, created by a sadly receding glacier, is constantly populated by icebergs calving from the glacier and swimming towards freedom in the nearby ocean. Unfortunately, as soon as they’ll reach their freedom they’ll slowly melt and disappear. While I photographed Jokulsarlon dozens of times, on this particular day the combination of those blue, whale-shaped icebergs with the warm light of sunset helped me perfectly convey the sad sense of longing for freedom of these ice giants.

ABOUT VOICES OF THE OCEAN

All my life, I felt a profound affinity with the sea. I always have been amazed by the magical way the ocean lives and breathes, by its powers and endless energy. The ocean feels to me like a living creature, benevolent and terrible at the same time, constantly at work shaping the landscape.

The ocean comes with many voices, visually. The long waves and roaring waters offer an infinite range of expressive possibilities to interpret the ocean’s landscapes through a careful use of the visual representation of time.

Working around the ocean, for me, is a never-ending source of inspiration: this collection represents 7 years of photography, listening to the Voices of The Ocean.
