Fiona McClintock, Chromatic Drift (NATURE WILDERNESS 2025)

"Chromatic Drift" presents a luminous apparition washed ashore by the tide, glowing with an iridescent radiance. Its delicate, translucent body reflects the shifting light in electric blues and greens, a fragile jewel suspended between beauty and caution. The ocean’s pulse is captured in its every ripple, telling a story of transience and hidden power. This delicate fragment of the ocean embodies the paradox of admiration and respect, a reminder of the fragile boundaries between wonder and the dangers lurking beneath the waves.
