Full Moon
1986

A stylized print depicting a dramatic scene with two figures in a small rowboat during a stormy night. The boat is tipping precariously in turbulent waters, with one figure reaching out over the edge as if to balance or fend off an unseen obstacle, while the other appears to be rowing or bracing themselves. Above them, a full moon peeks through streaks of rain or wind, adding to the sense of urgency and chaos conveyed by the image. The artwork uses a limited color palette, emphasizing dark greens, blacks, and whites to create a moody and dynamic atmosphere.
