Lorenzo Passalacqua, Undertow (PLACES 2026)

Created with in-camera shutter drag, Undertow turns the shoreline into a field of speed, darkness and pull. The small human figure serves as scale, almost absorbed by the moving water, while the coast refuses stillness. In monochrome, land, sea and motion collapse into one unstable force.
