For those of you with low vision:
With an assemblage of multiple canvases arranged on a wooden panel, this paining depicts multiple images. On the right, is a large canvas with view from a dock looking out onto the setting sun over the ocean. The sun is reflected brightly on the waves that extend vertically across the plane. In the background are the faint trace of a lighthouse in the distance. To the left is a slightly smaller canvas with the view stretching down a corridor between two building. Dark green doors stand equidistant apart creating a pattern of orthogonals running down the passage. Spaced below this canvas, is a row of four smaller paintings. The first shows an image looking from beyond a covered porch and onto a grassy field leading to the sea. The second painting shows two figures walking down a road, with the image a house nestled within the trees in the distance. The third painting depicts a post with the sandy beach, while the fourth portrays the backs of two figures standing on an embankment gazing across seaside. Collaged above, in the center of the paining is a tarnished metal rectangle.
