I am painting a colossal, rusted rusted shipwreck trapped inside an enormous glass hourglass, where the falling sand is actually tiny, shimmering shards of pulverized sea glass catching the light.
How we developed it
A wide cinematic 16:9 infrared landscape capturing an immense, skeletal rusted shipwreck entombed within a gargantuan glass hourglass. The infrared film aesthetic renders the surrounding desert dunes as blinding, stark white, while the sky is a profound, velvety black. Inside the glass, pulverized sea glass shards drift downward like luminous snow, emitting an ethereal glow. The corroded metal of the ship exhibits high-contrast textures, appearing as dark, jagged silhouettes against the radiant, bleached surroundings. The composition is balanced, emphasizing the surreal juxtaposition of oceanic wreckage and temporal isolation, rendered with intense, dreamlike atmospheric clarity.
