Fafa Island, Tongan Sunset

Sand on a tropical reef island can have a biological origin, made from broken coral skeletons, shells and other calcium-carbonate remains. Parrotfish contribute by scraping reef surfaces, grinding hard material as they feed and releasing it as sand. The pale shoreline of a tropical island can therefore carry the accumulated work of generations of marine life.

Created with Petra Savičová Photography, this view of Fafa Island holds the warmth of a Tongan evening. The open coastal setting lets the changing light take centre stage, with the horizon giving the scene its quiet structure. It preserves the atmosphere of an island moment rather than a busy tropical panorama.

Printed on 230gsm smooth matte archival-quality paper, with a smooth, non-glossy finish.

Pigment-based, UV-stable archival inks reproduce the colours and fine details of the original digital artwork. Each giclée print is produced in New Zealand.
