22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Whispers of the Ocean Glow

This abstract artwork captures the tranquil essence of a sunset on the coast of Mauritius. The image is composed of elongated horizontal bands, blending vibrant orange and pink tones from the fading sun with the deep blue and green hues of the ocean. A thin, glowing line, created by the light of a distant boat, slices across the horizon, serving as a delicate focal point amid the dreamy composition. The horizontal stretching transforms the natural scene into a surreal and meditative interplay of color, light, and motion, evoking a sense of endless calm and infinite beauty.
