Blush Below 

An Exhibition of Underwater Photography

"Blush Below" presents a curated collection of underwater photographs exploring the delicate spectrum of pink hues found beneath the surface of the Philippine seas. Through mainly macro imagery, the exhibition highlights the intricate beauty and biodiversity of one of the world's most vibrant marine ecosystems.

The Philippines, renowned for its coral-rich reefs and exceptional species variety, serves as the backdrop for this visual study in color, form, and texture. Expansive reefscapes are rendered in soft blush tones, while detailed portraits of marine life - such as a goby fish, crabs and shrimps and some corals-offer intimate glimpses into the lesser-seen intricacies of the underwater world.

The exhibition offers a reflection of nature's palette beneath the waves, where pinks emerge organically.

"Blush Below" is both a celebration of marine beauty and a gentle reminder of the fragility of these ecosystems. In capturing this rare chromatic perspective, the exhibition seeks to inspire deeper appreciation and continued stewardship of our oceanic environments.
