Cool air, warm dirt, lemonade berry perfume.

An amphitheater vignetted by the closing day.

The sun is the star of the show, and the ocean is the stage.

Immense beauty tinged by a deep sense of uncertain anticipation for what is to come.

This is how my first days of adulthood closed. A mix of comfort and discomfort, peace and turmoil.

My intention with this work is to capture my memories of those nights, rendered in simulated oil pastels.
