"Erosion (Yellow Sky)" juxtaposes a soft gradient of yellow sky with shades of blue and gray, where water and sand intermingle in a serene yet haunting vision. The unnatural vibrancy of the scene suggests a surreal, almost apocalyptic beauty - a reminder of climate change’s quiet yet relentless impact on our landscapes. Through broken lines and a high-key palette, the work foreshadows an unsettling future, where familiar coastlines are transformed and redefined by forces beyond anyone's control.
