Tide Pools

A tide pool sliced at the waterline, where a sea turtle glides above a clam holding one glowing pearl.

The sky in this tide pool was painted to escape the news. An earthquake had hit Colombia that day, and Afuro was still waiting to hear from friends and family. So they picked up the clouds as a distraction. Their first pass ran in flat horizontal bands. Designsb sketched another idea, with the clouds fanning out around the sun like spokes. Afuro tried it. That is why the whole sky now seems to radiate from the setting light.
