Epitaph

Stripped of color and reduced to shadow and shape, Epitaph transforms the familiar wreck of the Point Reyes boat into a study of form and finality. What was once narrative becomes symbol — the decay of wood and iron rendered timeless in monochrome. Here, the sea and sky withdraw, leaving only silence and the faint echo of what endured. 

In dialogue with Forsaken, this image serves as the closing refrain — where Forsaken holds to the physical world, Epitaph releases it. One recalls the texture of time; the other, its passing. Together they speak to beauty found not in preservation, but in acceptance. 

On lustre paper, the grays settle with quiet subtlety, evoking the softness of memory. On metal, the deep blacks anchor the composition, lending gravity to the ship’s skeletal form — an homage both to loss and to what remains.
