Raja Ampat – Summer of 2025 Postcards

Wild. Petulant. Uncontained. On orientation day, our dive guide told us, “Never underestimate the currents in Raja Ampat.” And she was right.

Home to the richest marine environment I’ve witnessed thus far, the ‘currents in Raja Ampat’ bring with them a ton of nutrients, which then support a ton of marine life. Wherever you look, there is something to see.

This set of three postcards offers a peek into the untamed world of the ocean, in her birthplace. She reminds me of a little girl who does not know when to stop playing. Or even that she is supposed to stop playing at all. A reminder to be more easy about everything life entails.

These postcards are a labor of love for us, two sea people who found joy in the medium, and in each other’s company. On our last day in Raja Ampat, we came up with the idea of creating these talismans, almost, of a week spent cajoled by paradise. It is an honor to share this now with you.
