BOUNDARY BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK

Last time I saw Hiroshi Sugomoto's works was at his solo show by Japan Society in 2005.  The series of Seascapes photography totally attracted me and I just stood staring at one photograph for a while.  

It was a black and white photo of the ocean in a foggy day.   It looked so foggy that the boundary between the water and air was no longer visible.  The light shade of air sank beneath the horizon while water penetrated above.   It was such a calm moment to just look at the photo and try to find the boundary.

Several works of the same series were on view at Pace Gallery last week.   Again, I was trying to find the boundary unconsciously in front of foggy ocean
