Before dawn at Carlisle Bay, Barbados, local groomers lead their horses into the sea for their daily bath, a tradition deeply rooted in the island’s racing culture. This series documents the serene interaction of natural light, water, and the silhouettes of man and horse, exploring themes of connection, tradition, and the tranquil beauty of the Barbadian landscape. 

The series delves into the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, represented here by the horses and the ocean. In an age dominated by technology, where we are constantly wired in, we cannot escape our inherent bond with nature. I was deeply moved by the connection between the groomers and the horses, and after days of observation, I began to understand how the energy of the horses was intertwined with the sky, the ocean, and the groomers. They were always in harmony, their rhythm shifting yet maintaining a constant, fluid dance.

Simultaneously, the theme of connection or disconnection as it were, was also apparent in the dynamics between the groomers and the gathering tourists, eager to capture photos for their social media. While the horses took the lead, the groomers, diligently performing their duties, often seemed almost unseen, overshadowed by the tourists' focus on the animals.
