Visual and technical analysis

  • Fluid dynamics: The stormy sea motion is driven by heavy, chaotic wave behavior with cresting and crash transitions, including underwater continuity.
  • Point of interest: A red beacon buoy acts as the visual anchor and scale reference against the wide dark water field.
  • Atmospheric lighting: A cold blue palette reinforces isolation, while intermittent light hits add depth, texture, and tension across the surface.
  • Camera work: The submerged-to-resurface perspective creates a visceral “in-water” experience and amplifies urgency.
