Original artwork description:

“At the water’s edge “ by Anahita Amouzegar
I’ve always been drawn to the beach as a place where people don’t try very hard to be anything. Everyone arrives with their own body, their own pace, and stays for as long as they can tolerate the light. I’m interested in those in-between moments — when nothing is really happening, yet everything feels present.
While painting this, I wasn’t thinking about specific individuals. I was thinking about memory: how figures blur, how colours shift, how certain shapes stay with you longer than faces. The umbrella, the waterline, the sun — these are anchors. The people move around them, come forward, drift away.
This painting is the beginning of a series where I’m simply observing how bodies exist in open light, how time stretches near water, and how familiar places can feel slightly unreal when remembered rather than seen.
