[short_description] From directly above Madeira's coastline, a wave strikes a wavebreaker of precisely placed stones - the symmetry of the human structure meeting the total asymmetry of the impact, white foam spreading outward from the point of collision. Open edition - Aerial fine art by Tobias Hägg - 210g natural white art paper, matte finish [/short_description] [product_description] Madeira sits in the Atlantic roughly 1,000 kilometres southwest of mainland Portugal - a volcanic island whose coastline takes the full force of open ocean swell with no continental shelf to slow it down. The wavebreakers that protect the island's harbours and seafronts are built from enormous concrete and stone blocks placed in deliberate patterns to absorb and deflect wave energy. From altitude the geometry of that placement is completely visible - and so is the moment when the ocean ignores it entirely, the wave breaking across the structure and throwing white water in every direction regardless of the engineering beneath it. The top-down perspective turns a coastal engineering structure into something closer to a composition - dark stone, pale foam, the hard geometry of the placed blocks against the fluid chaos of the Atlantic. It works in any interior that responds to high contrast and graphic structure.
