Tidal by @gabscanu

falling of the sea. The constant flow of the ocean often mirrors the movements of our own lives. The ups and the downs, the good and the bad, the light and the dark. Like the ocean, our lives are constantly moving, constantly evolving and shifting in a new direction with often unexpected and unpredictable waves hitting us along the way. This shot was conceptually formed to resemble those moments in time in, showing that every moment of darkness is followed by a wave of light. The harsh contrast between the light and the dark, split with a perfectly formed wave bridging the gap between the two. This piece was captured in Australia, on the coast of Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach. After chasing the surf and the sunrise for close to 2 years this idea finally started to take shape. The ocean is a melody that never stays in one place, so why should we?

NOBODY ACTÜALLY CARES ABOUT ART ANYWAY by @iartsometimes

You put in the time, you dedicate yourself to your craft, you learn to market yourself; you sit, roll over, wag and jump all for someone to genuinely SEE you. All you’re looking for are eyes, minds and hearts that connect with what you’ve made… to feel every moment, every brushstroke, every thought, every FEELING you spent all of your time trying to convey… and for what? Nobody actually cares about art anyway. Especially not good art. Nobody really looks closely, do they? No. They want intrigue, they want popular culture, they want FOMO, they want a story… just not the one you made up, unfortunately. They DO want your story though, but fuck you if it’s not salacious. How many times have you been told from behind comments with fire emojis that your work only actually matters if YOU matter? More than you’ve probably noticed, and more than we ever really admit. People should care a lot more about art.
