Sunset Bubblewrap “Ascent”

The ascent to the surface brings with it a bitter sweet moment. As I exhale I watch large bubbles form and burst into hundreds of smaller variations as they overtake me in their race to the surface. I do not wish to beat them, the sooner I arrive at the surface the sooner my experience is over. Emerging from behind a cloud the sun’s rays give each bubble a halo. Ripples on the surface now become visible and I feel a warmth in the light near the surface. Diving offers a moment of complete escapism from our world. 

These pieces evolve as I gain experience in diving. I’m fascinated by observations of how colour and light are effected at various depths and how this effects the state of mind.
