The depicted sinkhole, was formed by a primeval sea in the tertiary, in the quaternary it withdrew, leaving a sculptural void.

The work is a visual translation of this genesis, the title is derived from the Egyptian god and primordial myth. The story goes as follows: in the beginning of time everything was shrouded in a dark sea: nun.Turbulent waves produced the light from which earth was born. The primordial sea continues to flow beneath the surfaces it formed. 

Nun would one day close the circle and flow all over the earth again.

Neap Tide indicates the moment when there is a minimal tidal change,  this happens when the sun and the moon are at right angles to each other, so that they counteract each other’s forces of attraction. 

The sea could return.

The images are positives of a negative space. Everything is hidden in plain sight, that which has been washed away proves that it was once there.

The medium of photography is used by showing its’ most prominent attribute; the ability to make a trace of something that once was. The pictures are indexes of the past and potential icons of the future.

The work explores a displacement of meaning, transporting the viewer into time.
