This work operates between minimalist abstraction and a distant seascape. Its narrow bands suggest a horizon and sea blurred by heat haze. The intense orange-red field presses downward, evoking the crushing summer heat of Greece, when the air seems to melt. In psychological terms, orange carries vitality and stimulation, but here it becomes excessive, producing tension, restlessness, and bodily discomfort. The cooler strip below offers only a fragile sense of relief before being overwhelmed again by the dominant heated atmosphere.

- Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.
