Night Surf #3443 reduces the ocean to a narrow luminous horizon beneath an expansive black night sky. A sequence of softly defined wave forms rises and falls across the panoramic frame, with two more pronounced peaks interrupting the otherwise restrained movement. The extended exposure dissolves the breaking surf into light and mist, leaving only traces of the physical ocean.
