Photograph Description
As I walk certain volcanic beaches I’m intrigued by the natural patterns cut into the sand by the receding tide. Looking closely, the Gestalt panorama of the patterns become apparent and I find the refraction of light and angles in the sand to be an inspirational art form; each unique and mesmerizing. Twice a year I visit these beaches in Costa Rica where I spend hours each day searching for and shooting the patterns, some as they are created by the small waves right at my feet. The patterns in my photos are shown exactly as I saw them and the colors are a result of the layers of sand and the reflection of the sun on the water remaining in or over the sand. My photos of these patterns are meant to be thought provoking. See in them what you like or can imagine, remembering that they are the gift of nature.
