Is it skin, the surface of the moon, aerial photographs of forests, or barren earth? Is it the night sky or the galaxies above our heads? Are these abstract images of the atmosphere, or simply what lies beneath our feet—and do we just need to stop and take a moment to notice it? These are all possibilities when looking at this new series of photos by Bryan Adams.
During the first weeks of 2015, while visiting the island of Mustique in the Grenadines, West Indies, Adams noticed abstract black-and-white patterns on the sand formed by the waves of the Caribbean Sea. He photographed these formations over the course of a few days, and when he showed the photos to others, most thought they might be the night sky. This uncanny resemblance between the two was the inspiration for this book.
Following his two volumes of portraiture, *Exposed* (Steidl, 2012) and *Wounded* (Steidl, 2013), *Untitled* is a large-format book featuring Adams’ abstract graphic images, along with an introduction on the sea, its unstoppable force, and its incredible beauty.
