Sentinel of the Shore

Within the diverse 'Going Coastal' collection, 'Sentinel of the Shore' stands out as a pastel drawing that beautifully captures the essence of coastal boundaries. This artwork focuses on a robust wooden post, painted in a striking red, serving as a stark contrast against the soft, muted tones of the beach and overcast sky. A yellow marker sign is nailed to the post, hinting at a narrative of direction amidst the vastness of the landscape. Barbed wire stretches across the frame, adding a texture of resilience and boundaries that both protect and divide. This composition not only guides the viewer's gaze to the distant horizon but also reflects on the intersections where human-made structures meet the natural expanse of the coast, serving as silent guardians of the ever-changing shoreline.
