It has been several years since my last solo exhibition, and in that time, I have taken thousands of photographs. The images selected for this exhibition were all captured in 2024 when the skies were clear and bright, the ocean was calm, and the afternoon light painted everything in vibrant colours. It was a time of self-reflection and learning. Every day I spend taking photographs, I discover new ideas, refine techniques, and deepen my passion for the art.

This collection is entirely water-based, taken in the ocean around the northern beaches—an environment I have always loved, along with its incredible wildlife. We must protect the ocean, and I believe that showcasing its beauty can inspire people to take better care of it and its surrounding areas.

Each of these images captures a moment that has left a lasting imprint on my memory—whether because of the experience, the situation, or the sheer beauty of the scene. I hope those who view them will appreciate them as much as I do.
