A new reality is dawning in humanity. The third "pandemic" after malnutrition and obesity is climate change. The future cost of climate change is estimated to be 5%-10% of global GDP. Sudden storms, floods and the rise of the sea level create a new reality that we have to consider. My photos focus on the sea. The sea that creates dreams and love stories, awakens consciousness and liberates the spirit. The sea that scares and at the same time enchants. Images that they may look “beautiful” and entertaining in our civilized world but they hide unpleasant surprises in our common future.
