TITLE: Following in Mother’s footsteps

I've spent so much time sitting on the sand, looking and watching the surfers' lifestyle. I always genuinely appreciate the moment of the personal RITUAL before and after the act of surfing. I can see people around me, walking in the ocean, and whether they are the best surfer or not, perform incredible athletic feats, fighting through the waves. But the moment before or after all of this, that moment is so evocative for me. I can feel in the little details, the emotions of these people, the wet sand under my feet, walking on the cliff, watching all the things that surround me, footprints inside my mother's ones, feeling more grown and independent, it's not just something in your face, it's something moving on your entire body, like a vibration.
