About this piece

Seen from water level, the raised leaves of a drawbridge form towering diagonals around an open channel and a distant palm-lined waterfront. Pink and gold clouds contrast with the cool gray steel, while yellow railings trace the bridge supports above rippled water. The composition gives a working structure a moment of monumental stillness.

The story

Early May light gathers in the clouds above the open bridge. The roadway stands lifted on either side, its dark grating exposed to the sky. Below, small ripples break the reflections into shifting bands, and a white yacht rests beside the waterfront. For a moment, the space between the spans feels larger than the structure itself.
