There's nothing quite like returning home.
Whenever I step off the plane in Florida, I'm hit with the same feeling. The air breathes differently—it's the warmth and humidity, yes, but also the extra weight of a decade of memories from growing up there. It’s an instant boost.
For all those years near the coast, there were certain shapes that remained just that—obscure outlines, vaguely visible from above the surface. Shadows drifting along without making a disturbance. They were like extras in a movie: present, but seemingly inconsequential to what was unfolding around you.
This visit would be different.
With a doubled-up wetsuit, short fins, mask, snorkel, and camera, I joined them in their world. The curtains were pulled back on their—let’s call them—bold bodies and their gentle, curious nature. Far from hydrodynamic, yet gliding effortlessly as they went about their day.
These quiet, unassuming creatures are every bit deserving of a moment in the spotlight.
Over the next few days, the extras became the stars.
LIMITED EDITION
A moment captured for a life on paper.
Eric works with a renowned print studio in Brooklyn, New York, known for decades of expertise in archival pigment printing. The local lab allows for a collaborative approach, ensuring that his intended vision is expressed in the final artwork. When cared for properly, archival pigment prints can last for over a century.
Archival Pigment Prints
Modern printmaking, refined. Pigment prints utilize state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality pigment-based inks to achieve striking reproductions. A digital image is applied directly onto the paper using precision inkjet printers, ensuring both image quality and longevity.
Vision meets the surface. Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. A paper is chosen to best suit the intent of the piece, from satin finishes to enhance rich shadows and colors, to handmade Japanese rice paper that offers a more textured and vintage feel.
The edition size ensures that only the number of prints indicated will ever be produced. Each print is proofed, reviewed, numbered, and signed by Eric, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity that is unique to your artwork.
