Between shorelines

Between shorelines. 2018.

From above, the little white boat becomes a punctuation mark between land and water, resting neatly at the hinge where grass falls away to sand and the sea begins to darken. The frame stacks itself into bands, soft green turf, a strip of shell and weed, then the quiet weight of green water below, each layer carrying a different texture and sound. The boat feels both invited and abandoned, close enough to launch yet set back just far enough to read as stillness rather than action. It is a small study in edges and thresholds, and in how a single human object can hold its own against the slow, patient geometry of a coastline.
