Estimated value: $1,900 to $2,280 Photograph, Pigment print, Image size: 19x25cm Edition of 01/01 Venice Beach captures a unique moment at its namesake beach during the COVID-19 pandemic, juxtaposing weathered rocks against fading graffiti. This visual interplay speaks to the constant ebb and flow of life in this iconic coastal community. The eroding elements symbolize both the passage of time and the transient nature of human expression, while simultaneously conveying a sense of isolation and hope. Despite the underlying melancholy, the enduring beauty of the landscape and the persistence of creativity suggest continuity and renewal, inviting viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between natural processes, human intervention, and global events.
