Aaron Stanley, Adrift (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2025)

Adrift captures a solitary sand island surrounded by shallow pastel waters, viewed directly from above. Gentle waves curl around its edges like a quiet embrace, blurring the line between land and sea. Floating in a soft palette of blues, green and creams, the scene speaks to the stillness of isolation and the quiet beauty of being alone, yet connected to everything around it.
