28 | Catch | Nicola Petrides | $1350 | Digital photography, underwater, captured on breath hold. No AI, 100% in camera

The Squid – Nicola Petrides – captures of the wild dance of human emotion and the magic of connection.

Shot on one breath by Gozo’s Blue Hole, Catch explores beauty personified, and those who would drown to own. Beauty is inherent in all things, our narrow definition and want for control leading only to our detriment.
