Foamy Pastels is the documentation of the textures and flow of waves crashing on different Mauritian shores. Whilst wandering around Mauritian beaches I was drawn to waves and foam, as the ocean slowly cascades upon the shore. I wanted to capture the subtle differences of seashores all around the island. It’s funny how we picture yellow and blue when we think about the ocean and the beach but I immortalised so many different shades of pastel colours. From lavender, to lilac, turquoise and so many pink hues. I focused on the differences in sand, shells, the waves, the textures and the colours. The more I shot the remote and “un mainstream” beaches, the more I realised how many beaches are not permanent fixtures of our island. I wanted to capture these moments of natural serenity before they disappear. Visiting these shorelines was a stark contrast to my life in the often grey and busy city life of Manchester, this gave me a chance to reconnect with simplistic pleasures such as listening to the sound of the sea, dipping my feet in the water and tasting the salty ocean on my lips.
