About the artwork

"Against the tide" is an impressive photograph that takes you to the dynamic coast of Hoek van Holland. The image shows a special phenomenon observed while walking along the pier: the powerful wind and rising tide caused the waves to slam forcefully across the pier. The photo is the result of combining several images, creating a striking visual effect. It seems as if all around you the waves are hitting the pier with force, a spectacle that is both impressive and breathtaking. The strong wind whipping through the air and the rising tide stirring up the waves add to the intense atmosphere of the photo. You feel the energy of the natural elements battling against each other, and at the same time a sense of fearlessness and determination to stand firm against the power of the sea. "Against the tide" is a tribute to the raw beauty of the coastline and the power of nature. It reminds us that sometimes we have to swim against the tide, no matter what challenges we face. The image inspires us to be brave and follow our own path even when circumstances are against us. The picture takes you to a moment of intense movement and energy, with the waves surrounding the pier like dancing water. Capturing this fleeting moment in time creates a lasting work of art that brings to life the power and splendour of nature. "Against the tide" is a photograph that invites you to be carried away by the power and beauty of the sea. It is a reminder of our connection with nature and a source of inspiration for anyone who braves life's challenges.
