The Story Behind Water Matrix

“This photo has been decades in the making. This image captures a spectacular moment where white water erupts skyward in a dramatic display, creating an intricate matrix of water droplets, foam, and spray.”

— Aaron Chang

Water Matrix is one of my favorite images. It has been a gallery and customer favorite also. We are at the end of a very limited edition of 95 prints.

I love the white water exploding into the sky. It reminds me of the pure summer joy I remember as a kid — feeling the ocean move, tasting the salt spray.

A long time ago, I started to see these tidal blasts happening when I started shooting in Hawaii. I’ve been trying to capture this perfect convergence of water exploding ever since...

This photo has been decades in the makingWater Matrix stands alone as a mesmerizing testament to the raw power and ethereal beauty of the ocean. This image captures a spectacular moment where white water erupts skyward in a dramatic display, creating an intricate matrix of water droplets, foam, and spray.


The composition reveals delicate patterns of crystalline water fragments suspended in air, their forms dancing against hints of deep blue and seafoam green beneath.


I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I did capturing it!

About the Finish

Our Premum Gallery Finish: Acrylic Medium

Our premium process is our gold standard and is photographic paper face-mounted to acrylic. 95% of what we show at our galleries and sell is in this medium.


  • This medium is optically printed onto Fuji Crystal Archival paper Pearlescent base on Fuji paper is HIGHLY reflective of light
  • The richest, most vibrant color technically possible. The result: colors light up and lay down according to the light source. They truly come alive
  • Our most vibrant medium
  • The back frame is a recessed frame on the back of the print that mounts to a cleat or z-bar, for easy hanging
  • This gives a very beautiful and modern appearance of the print floating off the wall

A Note From Erika

Every masterpiece has its own unique energy, and sometimes a single moment on the shore can capture the ocean’s raw vitality in ways that linger with us forever. Water Matrix is Aaron’s extraordinary interpretation of that wild convergence—where wave and sky collide in a lattice of crystalline spray.


This photograph pulses with life, freezing abstract shapes of whitewater erupting into air, igniting the imagination. Its intricate patterns and shimmering droplets reveal a dynamic world woven of movement and light—a favorite among those who find beauty in the ocean’s untamed beauty.


Now, as the final Collector’s Editions and Artist Proofs of Water Matrix become available, we celebrate the closing chapter of an edition treasured for its imagination and force. This opportunity marks the last chance to welcome its spirited presence into your home or collection before this exclusive edition concludes.


With your acquisition of one of the final few Water Matrix’s, you’ll receive membership in Aaron’s Private Collector’s Club, including special experiences that bring you closer to the artist and insight into his creative process.


It is my sincere pleasure to invite you to be part of this spirited legacy—an Aaron Chang original that marries artistry with the unforgettable thrill of the ocean.
