A vast expanse of ocean meets an overcast sky at a perfectly centered horizon line, rendered in Sugimoto's signature gradations of silver and gray. The image achieves a meditative stillness, dissolving the boundary between water and atmosphere into an almost abstract field of tone and light. Taken from the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais in California, this photograph belongs to Sugimoto's celebrated *Seascapes* series, in which he reduces the natural world to its most elemental and timeless form.
