#1311 High Water
About This Aquascape
“High Water” tells the story of a river during a period of high water, when the water level has risen enough for the river to overflow its banks and partially flood the shoreline together with the trees growing along the riverbed. That is why the composition features eroded banks, exposed roots, and the feeling that part of the land has been submerged.
