About this piece

Two leaning palm trunks dominate the foreground, their overlapping fronds forming a canopy above a sandy beach and white lifeguard tower. Warm, low light reveals the texture of bark, exposed roots, and footprints, while the sea carries the sky’s transition from blue to gold. A small ship on the distant horizon lends scale to the quiet coastal scene.

The story

December holds a golden interval beneath the palms. Light catches the ridges of their trunks and settles into the hollows of the sand, where footprints remain without their makers. Beyond the grasses, the white lifeguard tower faces the water. A distant ship rests against the horizon, small enough to let the sea seem almost empty.
