In this painting I was trying to capture my memories of walking through sand dunes at the boundary of a beach; there's the anticipation of reprieve from hot air and you can smell and hear the ocean but often you can't see it yet. It's a suspended moment of transition. The sand is hot and the colors and environment quickly change. The colors in the painting are from the sand dunes in my memories. I was also thinking about how dunes act as an in-between space that divides one landscape from another. They're both a boundary and their own space, an in-between space that holds apart two separate worlds.
