Seascape, Imperial Beach, California, 2014

On this night, clouds masked the sunset itself. A threating cloudbank on the horizon acts as a reflector, deftly painting the colors of the invisible sun upon both sea and sky. This seascape image is anchored by the tiny figure wading through a reflected pool of light at the bottom of the frame. The pool of light flows towards the horizon, where a distant fiery red band of reflected sunlight burns through the base of the cloudbank. Meanwhile, the sky itself becomes an artist’s palette as yellow and orange colors are reflected upon the scattered overhead clouds. While a lovely seascape is the result, the small figure standing in that pool of light creates the story here. It is so small, yet seems to face the vast sea and the threat of storm without a qualm.
