BEACH LIFE by Kesley Sakura-Yuitza @ the Annex / Nitroglobus
BEACH LIFE by Kelsey Sakura-Yuitza
August 2025 exhibition – Annex of Nitroglobus
I first discovered Kelsey’s work on Flickr in January this year. Her images immediately caught my eye, and I reached out to her to ask if she’d be interested in exhibiting at my gallery. It took some time to convince her, but in February she said YES — which, of course, made me very happy.
Over the following months, Kelsey and I stayed in touch. Communicating wasn’t always easy due to the time difference and her hectic work schedule, but in the end, everything came together.
I’m happy to present this exhibition/installation, a vivid reflection of Kelsey’s love for beach life AND moreover, Adwehe's skills of creating a scene with super cool fun stuff. Try digging a bigger hole in the sand, take a shower, kick the beach balls or just relax under a palm tree.
My thanks goes to Adwehe, who created the beach scene. Love it!
Hele dikke kus

Description by the artist:
In the past, I would have simply said, "I surf and take pictures in SL."
But a few years ago, while modeling for a friend — an SL photographer — I found myself wondering, "How difficult could it actually be?"
So, I began with basic snapshots. I experimented with lighting and shadows using the Black Dragon viewer. I watched YouTube tutorials and taught myself how to edit in Photoshop, applying those skills to shots I felt truly deserved that extra touch.
I kept learning, kept exploring — and now, here we are: exhibiting in the Annex of Nitroglobus.
