Rafał Kryst - Corrosion immersed in blue
The photo shows a fragment of a shipwreck resting on the seabed. It was taken while I was doing my passion, scuba diving. The wreck itself shows signs of advanced corrosion and the activity of marine organisms. Diving in the face of an underwater "titan" itself provokes a lot of reflection on increasing social awareness of the degradation of materials, but also inspires us to see beauty in natural transformations. I hope that my example of an extraordinary capture of underwater corrosion will encourage us to explore the environment, both underwater and above water. The wreck and the photo itself are an extraordinary example of how corrosion, although usually perceived as a technical and economic threat, can simultaneously create new living spaces.
