"We cannot think of a time that is oceanless.” - T. S. Eliot, The Dry Salvages
“Days at Sea” is a long-term project. These photographs were taken in my native town Pomorie and its area on the Black Sea coast during the summertime.
I explored the mysterious connection between the sea and the passing time, between the miracle of childhood memories and the melancholy of painfully familiar places.
I tried to perceive the places and moments like a child, the time when life itself was a miracle, timeless and surreal... To express my love for the sea and my pain for this beloved but vanishing world.
