About this piece
A white lifeguard tower occupies the right side of an empty beach, its stairs and angled supports set against the horizontal sea. Orange light rims a low cloud bank beneath a deep blue sky, while the foreground sand remains in shadow. The contrast between the tower’s firm geometry and the expansive sky gives the scene a quiet, watchful presence.
The story
On this December day, the beach holds its tracks and footprints beneath a sky streaked with gold. The tower’s windows gather blue light, and its stairs descend toward unoccupied sand. A small vessel rests near the distant horizon, barely interrupting the line of water. As the year draws toward its close, the shore offers a moment with nothing to hurry toward.
