This calm, graphic coastal image captures a moment of anticipation on Scheveningen beach. The composition is dominated by a massive stack of wooden crates, which together with the stacked beach furniture form a strong, architectural structure against the open horizon. The orange cushion on top of the crates is a subtle, warm eye-catcher against the cool blue sky and grey wood tones.
My inspiration lay in the aesthetics of storage and order in an organic environment. The work creates a sense of anticipation - summer is present in the stacked objects, but is still waiting to get busy. The numbered crates give the sculpture a touch of series and repetition. The calm sea and distant ships enhance the sense of tranquillity and vastness.
The atmosphere is one of serenity, order and the foreboding sense of holiday. The work exudes a calm, grounded energy, despite its austere geometry.
This image is special in modern interiors or spaces seeking a soothing, organised accent. Perfect for the bathroom, an office or a living room, it instantly evokes a relaxed yet stylish holiday feeling.
"Order on the horizon; the quiet geometry of summer, caught waiting on the sand."
