Description
A round palladium-leaf moon sits above a dark navy sky, flanked by flat, elongated cloud bands in lighter blue. Below, overlapping rounded hills in graduated teal and blue tones descend to a horizontal band of water, its foreground rendered in fine wave-like etched lines. The composition is entirely stylized and flat, with no human figures, built from smooth undulating shapes in a cool blue-green palette. "Sail On, Silver Moon," Yoko Akino, 2022, aquatint, etching, and palladium leaf.
