Artwork description:

This underwater photograph captures a freediver silhouetted against the sun's intense light, which pierces through the water, casting radiant beams in every direction. The freediver, seen from below, wears fins and swims near the water’s surface, which is rippled, reflecting the light in various directions. The diver's body is almost an outline, absorbed by the contrasting brightness, while the rest of the frame deepens into darker shades of blue and black, creating a dramatic gradient from light to shadow. The surrounding water glows with the sun’s refracted rays, enhancing the ethereal quality of the scene. The image, taken in the Mediterranean Sea around Menorca, captures the tranquility and mystery of freediving.
