Bridge Shorts
Description: The Sunshine Skyway Bridge connects St. Petersburg and Terra Ceia across Tampa Bay. The current bridge was dedicated in 1987, and replaces an earlier version that was partially destroyed in a well-known 1980 maritime collision. Portions of that original bridge were sunk into the bay during demolition, and the approaches were turned into the longest fishing pier in the world, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Description: In this work, I sought to capture the ephemeral essence of dawn through minimalist and fluid touches. The limited use of ink highlights the purity and tranquility of the landscape, encouraging reflection. The bridge, a central element, symbolizes passage, an invitation to cross the moments of life by immersing oneself in the ephemeral beauty of the present moment. This painting, in its simplicity, aspires to bring peace and serenity to any space that welcomes it.
