Aqua is a lyrical exploration, in which a series of close-up photographs of big waves evoke a dormant, irrational feeling, beyond time. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes peaceful, water is explored for its profound symbolic value. It is not just a physical element but it becomes a place for the soul, a reflection that awakens a broader awareness of being in the world, capable of acting as a bridge between the unconscious and the conscious. Its ceaseless movement becomes a metaphor and a reflection of a vertiginous inner dialogue, stemming from the need to move closer to the images of the unconscious, the eternal structures of the psyche, at the backbone of all experience.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
