Mena Kirolous, Urban and Ocean (URBAN 2025)

This raw, unedited capture of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast highlights the delicate balance between city life and the ocean’s serenity. The towering skyline looms in the background, a symbol of modern urban existence, while in the foreground, a family enjoys the simple pleasures of the sea. The reflective shoreline creates a visual duality, mirroring the contrast between the structured, fast-paced world of the city and the untamed, fluid nature of the ocean.
