Emergence is a series of photographs depicting the first seconds of an encounter between man and the sea.

​

In the process of creating the project I asked different free divers to jump into the water of the Red Sea. Each jump created a new, unique and unexpected temporary landscape scene that appeared and disappeared in seconds. 

​

During this short window of time, the aquatic environment filled with various forms of white foam that concealed the divers while revealing only hints of their bodies, creating a scene that could be interpreted as both an emergence and a disappearance.
