Between Mountain and Sea was captured along the windward coast of Oahu, where steep ridgelines descend abruptly into shallow, protected water. The landscape holds a rare balance—dramatic terrain softened by calm, expansive shoreline.
This area is known for its visual power, having served as a backdrop for films like Jurassic Park, but what drew me to the scene was not spectacle. It was the way light settled across the water, the subtle shifts in color, and the quiet separation between land, lagoon, and open sea.
From above, the composition becomes a study in contrast and restraint. Mountains rise sharply, clouds hang heavy, and yet the water remains still—holding space between forces rather than yielding to them. The image reflects a moment of equilibrium, where scale and calm coexist without tension.
