Shell

"Shell" by Maya Almeida is part of FORM - Air series. The circularity of this piece is inspired by the cyclical nature of life. The element of water reinforces this and reminds us of the endless nature of transformation. An ode to minimalism. This project is a first toward abstracted, non-literal representation. A work that sets out to visually represent the essence of things. By removing the human element, form is more supple and able to exist organically in its environment. The result is that each form takes on a life of its own with the elements of light and movement moulding as they can only underwater. A true collaboration with nature. In this context, Water is co-creator. Light and density are fundamental in the creative process. That which emerges is a metaphor for nature set free…For the creative process, part of the image was captured underwater and the landscape was captured in the Atlantic Ocean in the remote Azores Islands. The image was digitally layered in Photoshop in order to combine the various elements into a unique piece.
