Diver / Tobias Preisig

Dark blue. Gradation. Tension. Perpetual movement in all directions at once. Like radiation. Light breaking. Refracting. Pulled apart into a vast world of liquid shadow play. Pressure building in proportion to depth. A space that feels alien. Unworldly. Breath steadying. The heart beating slowly. A lightness. The experience of suspended animation. Wonder. Flight. Freedom. Release. A descent into unchartered oceanic / unconscious depths.
