Hiroshi Sugimoto — Saint James, New Zealand
Hiroshi Sugimoto

Saint James, New Zealand

A hauntingly serene black-and-white photograph captures the vast expanse of the ocean meeting an overcast sky, divided by a perfectly centered horizon line. Sugimoto's long-exposure technique dissolves the water's surface into a silky, ethereal blur, evoking a meditative stillness that exists outside of time. The image belongs to his iconic "Seascapes" series, in which the artist reduces the natural world to its most elemental and timeless forms.

Medium
Gelatin silver print.
