The Self and the Fish
Photography Digital-collage
This collection of portraits offers an exploration of the intricate relationship between
humanity and the ocean, navigating through the realms of the past, present, and future.
Despite their futuristic appearance, they are presented in timeless black and white,
evoking a sense of nostalgia, as if they were images captured in the past.
The essence of "The Self and the Fish" lies in its profound reflection on our connection
with the ocean throughout history and into the future, simultaneously questioning the possibility
of a future of hybrid beings.
By personalizing the fish into human form and vice versa, the series urges us to consider our innate
affinity towards that which we perceive as familiar and close to us. It serves as a poignant reminder
of our origins, urging us to recognize our deeply rooted connection with the ocean and its inhabitants.
