Captured on film, this photograph is a quiet meditation on presence, memory, and the rhythm of life by the sea. It unfolds gently - without staging or haste - inviting a moment that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar. This is not a document of events, but a reflection of mood. Here, summer is not marked by dates, but experienced as a state of being - open, slow, and fleeting. In a world shaped by speed and noise, the image offers no answers, only space: to pause, to feel, to be.
