As nothing about the situation changes, the same goes for these images: same props, same scenery, same image treatment—the only variable are the people on the boats.
Borderless Design explores this endless sea of aesthetics by leaving out this variable and focusing on the constants. An endless, interactive collage of rocks, waves and sky—and the occasional orange vest.
