Infinite Energy
Infinite Energy
In "Infinite Energy," Olsen-Dunn captures the kinetic intensity of waves approaching a coastline, but with a palette that disrupts any sense of calm. The cliffs and rocks glow in unexpected shades of pink, while the sea pulses in a rich cerulean blue beneath a fluorescent green-to-yellow sky. Inspired by views from Schooner Gulch State Beach, this surreal landscape hints at nature’s force and fragility, possibly foreshadowing a shifting climate and the volatility of an uncertain future.
