From Sea to Land 

Amelie stands at the edge, poised between worlds. Clad in a vibrant, geometric suit that recalls both ancient maps and futuristic design, she gazes toward an unseen horizon, ready to dive or ascend. Beside her, a splash of abstract blue suggests the depths she has emerged from, or may soon return to. Her journey is both literal and symbolic: a passage from sea to land, from fluid pattern to grounded form.

Before her, the earth awakens. A magnificent ruffed grouse stands amid tangled forest growth, its feathers a living tapestry of autumn. It embodies the instinctive intelligence of nature, alert to both dawn and dusk.

In the distance, a shoreline glimmers, mediterean houses perched in sunlit color, evidence of civilization’s delicate hold. Watching from the background, Manuel appears: a man in a dark suit, his gaze steady, knowing, touched by melancholy. He is memory, guide, and witness to transformation.

Beside him, a blue whale breaches, impossibly vast, breaking the boundary between realms. It is the heartbeat of the ocean, the reminder of all that connects.

At this meeting point, woman, bird, man, and whale, land and sea converge in a single, eternal gesture of becoming.
