Artist about this artwork The boat rests upon the once-submerged sandy bottom. In this curious reversal, land and water seem to have exchanged their usual roles: where once rippled a reservoir, now stretches firm, unyielding sand. Amidst this transformation, the vessel, once a sanctuary from the aqueous expanse, cradles the very element it once shielded against. It's a striking visual metaphor for the ever-shifting nature of our surroundings, a reminder that even the most stable landscapes can undergo profound change.
