In Maré Alta (3), Sausa leans into the traditions of modern abstract art to explore how simplified forms can hold significant emotional weight. The composition is defined by a series of striped patterns that move across the surface, creating a visual cadence that mimics the rising tide. By working within a monochromatic blue palette, the artist highlights the subtle variations in the textured surfaces, allowing the material itself to become a primary subject of the piece.

The work avoids direct representation, choosing instead to engage with the viewer’s own perception and subjective experience. There is a deliberate focus on the arrangement of visual elements—line, color, and texture—to build a complex reality out of minimal components. This approach results in a piece that feels grounded in the physical world while remaining open to the fluid interpretations of those who stand before it.
