The sun has just set. A lone surfer patiently waits for ride on a wave. My square frame is formal, allowing me to create striking geometric contrast within by dramatically filling three quarters of the square with blue water and one quarter of it with a fiery orange sky. This hot vs. cool color contrast perfectly complements the contrast in scale provided by the incongruously tiny figure almost lost within the vast setting. The image also speaks metaphorically of our biological origins – the evolution of mankind beginning a world of water and fire.
