ABYSS is the first photo collection by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Nonami, originally published in 1993. Known for his intricate darkroom techniques, Nonami creates a fantasy world in which human forms transform into mythical creatures, with figures that seem to sprout wings, fins, and other organic elements. With a gothic, dreamlike aesthetic, ABYSS blurs the line between human and nature, exploring themes of beauty and otherworldliness—a journey into the bizarre and ethereal.
