In a world where gravity's grip is loosened, we're reminded of the fundamental rhythm of our existence - our breath. 

This connection, so often forgotten in the hustle of life above, gains new importance here in the depths. Every inhalation, a gift of life; every exhalation, a surrender to the journey ahead. 

In this silent ballet beneath the waves, our breath becomes our guide, setting the tempo for our aquatic odyssey.  


Respire

Lying on the surface, our breaths are calm, matching the soothing pulse of the sea. Here, we are more than individuals; we are partners joined by shared intention and trust. With each breath, we prepare ourselves mentally and physically before our descent.  


Trust

Just before sunset, we decided to jump in the water and enjoy the last rays of light. We found clear blue water, the start of a beautiful moment.

Underwater sun rays

Balance

Beneath the waves, we move in harmony with the sea's curious inhabitants. Our shared mammalian nature comes alive here, where the art of freediving reveals our place among the ocean's wanderers.

This is our unspoken bond.


Bond

Peaceful and gentle, sea turtles navigate in the water all their life.  Every encounter is a beautiful moment to observe their calm behaviour and complex shell pattern.

Just Fly

Our series culminates in a surreal snapshot, a depiction of the disorientation that can accompany the hypoxic state. A powerful reminder of the effects of freediving on the body and mind. 
As we resurface and the cycle begins anew, our bond with the sea strengthens, drawing us ever deeper into the dreams of the deep.  


Gleam

The harsh reality of our planet can be seen underwater, as plastic roam the ocean like never before. Bags are not the only killer. All the trash we create and end up underwater damaged this fragile ecosystem.

Marine life is deeply affected by our waste. They are dying and therefore we are too.

This photo was created to raise awareness regarding our impact on the ocean. Everyday single use items, abandoned fishing nets and ropes can disrupt the ecosystem.

These are the most common trash found on beaches along with micro plastics.

Plastic Kills

Foundation

In a lunar-like landscape, we remember the importance of our ascent, saving our oxygen for the journey back. It's a moment of reflection, a testament to our resilience and training, and the choices that secure our safe return within our limits to the world above.  


Limit

"Hypoxic"  goes through a freediver's mind and body during a dive. Each photo will take you on a different phase, hoping to share more information about freediving itself. 


Through this collection, I want everyone to understand how simple and yet complex it is at the same time.
