Black Nature No.15 – Mare Tacendum

Black Nature No.15 – Mare Tacendum – is a black-and-white seascape reduced to its most elemental condition: water, light, and silence. The horizon is barely held in place, while a pale vertical reflection descends across the surface like a quiet path, dissolving into grain, shimmer, and darkness.

The composition is built on restraint. There are no landmarks, no narrative anchors, only the measured tension between luminous water and the dense, velvety atmosphere above it. This simplicity gives the work its force: the sea becomes less a place than a state of mind—still, remote, and inward.

As an original fine art photograph by the artist, this piece carries a particularly direct relationship to atmosphere and timing. It is an image of suspension, where the visible world is pared down until only tone, surface, and presence remain.
