Between Tides

Along the Atlantic coast, people appear as small gestures against light and sand. Empty structures, traces and quiet routines shape a social landscape built from absence and fragile presence, the space where everyday life becomes memory.

"Between Tides" project looks at the Atlantic coastline in moments when the noise recedes and what remains are traces: striped tents, empty structures, a forgotten balloon, a lone figure crossing the sand. People appear only as fragments or small presences, absorbed in their own rhythm rather than performing for the camera. Through soft light and restrained colour, the series explores how public spaces designed for leisure quietly reveal patterns of solitude, routine and temporary belonging. Small Distances is not about the spectacle of summer, but about the understated choreography between bodies, objects and the sea — the fragile zone where presence becomes a trace.
