Kanaha State Beach, Maui
2000, printed 2003

A photograph capturing two individuals at a beach during sunset or sunrise. The foreground shows a young woman in a black swimsuit standing near a tree, looking pensively at the camera with her arms crossed. In the background, another person is seen in a playful pose atop a tree stump, silhouetted against the bright sky. The scene is framed by trees and the ground is covered with textured sand. The lighting creates a warm, golden hue throughout the image.
