Above the Blue

About this piece

White terraces step down a rocky coastal slope, enclosing a narrow turquoise pool, cushioned loungers, and pockets of flowering greenery. Strong sunlight defines the curved walls and casts crisp shadows across gray paving, while the expansive blue sea balances the layered architecture with uninterrupted color.

The story

Late July light settles over the terraces, brightening every white curve. Beneath a pale umbrella, towels lie loosely across two empty loungers beside the turquoise pool. Green foliage spills over a wall, softening the boundary between carefully shaped rooms and rough golden rock. Beyond the glass railing, fine ripples texture the deep blue water, and the eye drifts outward from the sheltered terrace.
