About the artwork

In the serene embrace of nature, amid the picturesque landscapes surrounding Nijmegen, near the iconic Waalbrug, lies an enchanting spectacle waiting to be discovered. This photograph captures a moment, frozen in time, where the harmonious dance between land and water unfolds before our eyes.

In the foreground of the image, a vast expanse of sand stretches out, bathed in the gentle caress of sunlight. The texture of the sand, etched with subtle patterns by the whims of the wind, invites contemplation and reflection. It serves as a canvas on which nature paints her ever-changing masterpiece.

Beyond its sandy banks, the mighty Waal River flows graciously, carrying with it the echoes of history and the whispers of time. Trees stand like sentinels along the riverbank, their lush leaves perfectly reflected in the gleaming surface below. The reflection creates an enchanting symphony of shapes and colours, blurring the line between reality and its watery counterpart.

As the eye travels further into the scene, the distant horizon blends seamlessly with the azure sky above, creating a sense of vastness and infinity. It is a reminder of the boundless beauty and wonder that nature gives us, inviting us to immerse ourselves in its embrace and lose ourselves in its tranquillity.

In this tranquil oasis, where the elements come together in perfect harmony, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for nature. It is a refuge for the soul, a place where time stands still and the cares of the world fade into insignificant details.
