Stillness beneath the palm

Stillness beneath the palm. 2015.

Palm crowns lean over the edge of an infinity pool, their fronds doubled so cleanly in the surface that the real trees and their reflections almost trade places. The white villas sit half hidden behind the green, red roof tiles just catching the light, while the water holds a soft tint of sky and the faintest trace of movement. The scene sits on the edge of tropical heat and quiet luxury, a moment where time feels suspended, as if the whole place is pausing for one slow breath.
