Can a photograph reduce stress and anxiety? Photographer Mitchell Funk says yes with his high-angle shot that harmoniously unifies sea and land. A pleasing relationship is created as the horizontal pattern of waves are continued in the horizontal grid of seaside houses. The image seems in constant flux as one pattern merges into another. Moreover, the image produces a meditative and spiritual effect. Breaking waves on the beach and their proxies on land create a calming visual white noise that relaxes the eye and mind. The interplay of patterns and colors makes this more than a location photograph. The work is a masterfully constructed statement of precise design, color, and composition. br Signed, dated, numbered, 3\\u002F15 lower right, another size available.
