The Wait

“Timeless sea breezes, that for aeons have blown ancient rocks, you are purest space coming from afar.”

- Rainier Maria Rilke

The Wait Series is about the silence before the wave, the time between energy and inertia. I spent a summer photographing this meditation / subconscious practice observed in the surf community. The unseen forces creating the cycles of waves, the gravitational pull of the moon, the energy of the wind. Surfing is a sport governed by the our lunar neighbor, and a moment of daring alignment. “Purest space coming from afar”. I get clarity observing it, a reminder that our lives are energized by celestial bodies.
