Throughout thousand miles traveled through the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, I was fascinated by the various boats that we crossed. I start playing with the shape of the sail and then the shapes I found in the sea- I decided to print this photographic work on the tones of the sea. For that I use the cyanotype technique. I print the negative of my photographs, I paint some good quality watercolor papers with chemicals reactive to sunlight, and then I project my negatives on that paper under UV light. Sometimes I wash the printed paper with clear water, sometimes with water mixed with coffee or tea to make a special effect- All the work is done inside my sailboat, on the water.
