Painted on hand-stretched Belgian linen, Midtide on the Burning Shore offers a striking aerial perspective on climate reality. Blazing crimson- red fields in a scorched landscape collide with ash-dappled coastal waters. Meandering contour lines mark the shifting tide and reframe the traditional summer coastline as a fragile threshold threatened by intense heat and bushfires.
