Victoria Ugarte, Look Beneath the Surface (LANDSCAPE 2023)

These images were taken at a rock pool in Clovelly Beach (NSW). I have a little underwater camera that I use specifically for this purpose. I love the juxtaposition of the rocky landscape with what lies beneath the surface of the ocean, how the two natural worlds contrast with each other but also live in harmony. Rock pools are a great reminder to look beneath the surface, be it people or any given situation, as things are not always what they appear to be on the surface.
