JELLYFISH IN THE SHALLOWS

In a sun-drenched cove off Siargao's coast, spotted jellyfish drift through emerald waters, their amber bodies catching rays of light like living prisms. These photographs reveal creatures that have survived half a billion years of Earth's history, yet appear weightless in their modern dance. Through intimate portraits captured just beneath the surface, this series documents the delicate architecture of these ancient survivors - their spotted domes and textured appendages moving with impossible grace. As climate change reshapes our oceans, these living time capsules—neither plant nor conventional animal—become quiet indicators of marine change. Each image, taken at water level, captures a moment where science and beauty converge, revealing patterns that connect the microscopic to the cosmic.
