This photographic chapter proposes a visual journey in the deep and often invisible connections between society and the Ocean. By displaying intense and poetic shots, the chapter's narrative goes beyond the seascape portrayal and instead interrogates the interconnection between nature, the individual, and society, both human and marine. Water, a primordial and vital element, is the common link in our existence on this planet. Each photograph thus offers an occasion for considering our common belonging to a complex and interdependent socio-ecological system, where the unseen—e.g. the submerged marine life or the sea itself, whose presence is merely suggested in some photos—is just as present and decisive as what is visible. This creates a play of absence and memory, of evocation and intuition of the surrounding territory. Even shade and chromatic variation suggest, by mobilising an emotional language, the presence of subtle connections between society and the ocean. Overall, the chapter is an invitation to look beyond, to recognise our role in the complex and largely unknown equilibrium that binds humans to the marine world and to the planet itself, calling for a sense of belonging and responsibility.
