In this portrait-oriented composition, Costa explores the intersection of mathematical precision and the unpredictable nature of water-based media. The work strips away the traditional clutter of a horizon line, instead stacking angular forms and soft washes to suggest the rise of mountains or the layering of earth. Each geometric segment acts as a window into a different tonal depth, allowing the white of the paper to breathe through the pigment and provide a sense of internal light.

By leaning into abstraction, the piece invites a meditative focus on the basic building blocks of our environment. The artist balances the hard edges of his shapes with the delicate, bleeding margins characteristic of watercolour, creating a tension between human-made order and the wildness of the elements. It is a study of how we perceive space, turning a familiar outdoor scene into a sophisticated arrangement of color and form.
