Surf the Wave • Blue Mind Collection
If you've ever felt more peaceful interacting with water, you've experienced Blue Mind.
Water has always had a unique power to soothe the soul. Whether we're gazing at the ocean, floating in a river, or feeling the rain on our skin, it evokes a calm, meditative state that is deeply rooted in human experience. This phenomenon, known as Blue Mind, refers to the peacefulness and clarity we experience when we're in, on, or near water.
My photography in the Blue Mind project explores the connection between water and our emotional well-being. Inspired by the research of neuroscientists and marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols, I aim to visually capture how water can reduce stress, slow our breathing, and guide us into a state of deep relaxation. Through this work, I hope to evoke the serenity that water brings into our lives and invite viewers to experience its calming presence, whether they are by the sea, a lake, or simply engaging with these images.
Each photograph in this series is designed to echo the gentle rhythms and textures of water, offering a sensory retreat from the chaos of modern life. The water’s reflections, its constant movement, and its endless depth are metaphors for the peaceful inner spaces we can all access when we allow ourselves to be present with the natural world.
In a world increasingly driven by stress and overstimulation, I invite you to immerse yourself in these images and feel the quiet, steady pulse of water—a reminder of our profound connection to the blue spaces that sustain us.

“They are simply beautiful, and evoke everything it is that I love about the sea... it's feel, sight, sound and smell. Amazing that you can do that without someone having to actually go there.” ~ Anna Koska, Artist & Writer.
This abstract ocean art piece captures the tranquil beauty and power of the coast, perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, and interior designers seeking coastal-inspired decor. With layered blue hues and dynamic textures, it’s ideal for creating a serene focal point that evokes the calm and strength of the sea. Elevate any space with this stunning artwork, bringing the essence of the shoreline into your home.
This photographic series employs a technique called intentional camera movement (ICM), combined with a slow shutter speed and the use of a coloured filter. By panning the camera horizontally, I blend the waves into flowing, abstract forms. The range and speed of the pan, as well as the shutter speed, vary throughout the series.
The ICM community thrives on creativity, embracing abstraction and motion to push the boundaries of traditional photography. By using techniques like panning, slow shutter speeds, and layered exposures, artists transform fleeting moments into personal, expressive works of art. It’s a space where imperfection becomes beauty, and experimentation is celebrated. The community’s collaborative spirit fosters innovation, with photographers sharing techniques and inspiring one another to explore new possibilities. In this way, ICM becomes not just a technique but a vibrant, evolving art form.
