The iconic pier on Playa Los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta, presents a study in contrasts and connections. This photograph was conceived as an more abstract interpretation of a popular travel destination, aiming to transcend literal representation and evoke a deeper emotional and contemplative response. The choice of framing and perspective from the Playa Los Muertos pier was deliberate, intended to flatten the scene and emphasize its abstract qualities. The composition is built around the powerful curve of the pier, which acts as a dividing line between contrasting elements: light and shadow, land and sea, solitude and structure.
