Photographed during an expedition in Svalbard, this series documents a rapid sequence of calving events that unfolded within minutes—a raw display of elemental force. While 'Chaos' (Shortlisted – SWPA 2026) captures the stoic balance of a single seal amidst the thunderous roar, the entire trilogy is hand-crafted in master-lab quality to bring the structural soul of the Arctic into your space.

Each work is presented in its optimal format, defined by the moment it captures.
