Description
"Passage Through" (2013) presents a still lakeside scene rendered in deep red-maroon silhouette against a pale, wood-grained sky. A low line of trees and hills stretches across the horizon, its form mirrored in the calm water below, with dark foreground foliage framing the bottom edge. The visible wood grain texture throughout ties the image to its intaglio and woodblock process, and the limited red-and-pale palette gives the composition a quiet, muted mood.
