The leading structure, a dark frame, draws the eye towards the horizon, invoking a sense of depth and perspective. The subtle tonal variations and the stark contrast between the stillness of the water and the solidity of the poles contribute to an overall serene and contemplative atmosphere.
This artwork is ideal for modern and minimalist interior settings. It can be effectively displayed in living rooms, offices, or art galleries, adding a touch of sophistication and calm. Placing it in a well-lit area will enhance its reflective quality and serve as a perfect focal point, invoking conversations about art and tranquility.

It was a rainy day in August 2020. Usually it is sunny and hot in Vancouver during the summer months. I was bored at home and thought it might be a good day to discover an unknown place down in Steveston, British Columbia - Canada. I hopped into the car including my gear and drove down to Steveston. A small fisher town not far away from Vancouver. I discovered the Garry Point Park and I saw all those pillars standing strong in the Fraser River. I took my camera out and captured some long exposure images. It was still raining during the shooting and thankfully the weather conditions created a unique and soft mood.
