Lorenzo Passalacqua, Avalanche (April theme: The ocean)

This aerial capture, titled "Avalanche," portrays the ocean's might beyond serene beaches and tranquil turquoise waters. It encapsulates the surfers' quest for the ocean's fury, its ceaseless endeavor to cast them out with water avalanches. In this dramatic dance of colors, the surfers are akin to knights, battling to ride the tumultuous wave, to survive yet another aquatic surge, and to feel the sheer force of being alive.
