Zoomed Out is a mixed media creation, combining the rich texture and vibrant hues of oil pastels with the dynamic layering of collage. The colours used are neutral, drawing the viewer's attention to a small figure in a hoodie walking on a beach, with epic grey clouds in the sky.
The wind is depicted in motion, with bold strokes of pastel suggesting the movement of clouds and sand. The figure is small in comparison to the vast expanse of the beach and sky, suggesting a sense of vulnerability in the face of the elements.
The clouds in the distance are created with shades of grey, with swirling patterns that suggest the movement of the wind. The overall effect is one of power and intensity, with the viewer left to wonder about the forces that are driving the weather.
The beach section of the piece is composed of layered paper, with other materials creating a sense of depth and texture. The colours and textures suggest the many moods of the beach, from the softness of sand to the roughness of waves on the shore.
Overall, this art piece is a dynamic and evocative exploration of movement and the power of nature. It invites the viewer to contemplate the many layers of meaning and emotion hidden within its intricate composition, and to reflect on the beauty and danger of the world around us.
