Surging Tide

A large wave curls towards dark coastal rock, its bright foam tracing the shape of the breaking crest. Blue-green water and white spray provide the movement, while the shoreline supplies a solid counterweight. The close contrast gives the scene its force without needing a crowded composition.

Ocean swell carries energy over long distances, but the water itself mostly moves in local orbits as the waves pass. Near shore, the seabed changes that motion, slowing and steepening the wave until it breaks. A wave arriving at the coast can therefore be delivering energy from a storm far beyond the visible horizon.

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.

Proudly New Zealand Made™.
