Did you ever have the feeling of something unknown approaching you?
A feeling that something is there before you are able to see it? Maybe sometimes a calm and beautiful surface leads us to underestimate the potential below. If we take a closer look and follow our intuition one can see how the full power unfolds.

This notion could also be applied to the phenomena of “Countershading“: a biological method of camouflage that has been used by animals for millions of years. The animals’ skin is darker on the upper side and lighter on the underside of the body, it counter-shades the natural shadows in order to appear invisible.
