Photographer Jialing Cai utilizes blackwater diving to document the mysterious organisms that migrate from the deep sea to the surface under the cover of night. By plunging into the ocean during the dead of night, she captures rare biological moments, including a juvenile trevally resting atop a jellyfish that is in the process of digesting a baby octopus. Her work highlights the fragile and often invisible life forms of the open ocean, providing a unique perspective on marine ecosystems through high-contrast, nighttime macro photography.
