About this work

This photo shows a rough, choppy sea under a pale, cloudy sky. The waves are dark and crested with white foam, rolling in all directions. The horizon line is barely visible, blending the water and sky into a soft, gray blur. The image looks like it was taken from a boat, with no land or people in sight. The light is flat, making everything look muted and distant. If you like this kind of moody seascape, check out the *Museum of Ethnography* for more.
