The image depicts a serene, monochromatic seascape with a vast, calm ocean stretching to the horizon, where it meets a softly overcast sky, creating a tranquil and minimalist scene that evokes a sense of peace and infinity, while the gentle texture of the water adds subtle depth to the overall composition.

Note

Expanded Description: This photograph belongs to Hiroshi Sugimoto's famed Seascapes series (1980 - present). Sugimoto began this body of work by photographing views of the world's various oceans and seas, traveling around the world to make pictures that, despite their vastly different geographic origins, seem at first to be the same, with only slight variations. Their captions confirm that each is of a different body of water: Atlantic, Caribbean, Pacific, Adriatic.
