South Beach in Miami is a place that holds a special spot in many people’s imagination. It is surrounded by beaches, swamps, and skyscrapers—a place filled with many layers and contradictions within its complicated history. People from all over the world desire and frequent this place for so many different reasons.

Since 2017, I have started photographing the beach on Miami’s south side. I let the long walks on the sandy beach and the encounters with people be the creative force in this process. This has offered me different perspectives about this place and, thus, has become a long-term ongoing investigation into contemporary society in some of its economic, political, and behavioural aspects.

The term ‘epiphany’ seems appropriate for the deep sense of fulfilment, synchronicity, and contradiction between the essence of the place and ourselves.

This project is a broader look into the existing relations between bodies, identity, and the landscape, set in an environment stimulated by cultural and behavioural diversity or even by a certain idiosyncratic component.
