Right Place Wrong Time
2004

A painting depicting a person standing on a rocky shore holding a red umbrella amidst a surreal and stormy landscape. The sky is a swirl of dark and light hues, with yellow streaks suggesting a chaotic atmosphere. White lines descend from the clouds, possibly representing rain. The water around the rocks reflects the turmoil in the sky, with blues and purples creating a sense of movement. The person is dressed in dark colors with purple pants, and appears contemplative or resigned to the elements.
