A weathered wooden piling rises from the waterline, its surface completely colonised by jagged barnacle shells. Shot close and low in crisp black and white, the image reveals every volcanic grey ridge, the rough grain of soaked timber, and wet surfaces catching sharp daylight. Rich contrasts fill the frame corner to corner, turning a humble harbour post into a study of texture, time, and the sea's slow handiwork.
