Unlike the anonymous figures in this series, this piece brings us face-to-face with youth. Looking past the viewer toward the open water, the young girl possesses a quiet intensity. The wood plate’s sweeping grain moves like coastal weather across her face, binding her to the environment and capturing the poignancy of a child’s innocent gaze into an unknown future.
