Annotation
Whether you dive or snorkel, the feeling you experience is unlike anything else. As you sink bene- ath the waves, going deeper into the blue abyss there is a mix of wonder and bewilderment. But as the pressure and volume begin to change, a growing pain happens in the ears resulting from this physical phenomenon. With the entire body under immense pressure growing heavier and heavier with descent, the volume of breathing in the lungs decreases. It is an intense feeling that cannot be felt anywhere else. This is a fundamental principal of underwater gallery .The idea is based on a different perception of art when one faces a painting or sculpture in a gallery or sinks around them with neoprene and mask. Water is transmitted by sunlight as a color filter and color intensity decreases with depth. The exhibited art has a unique, unmistakable atmosphere.
