A quietly evocative abstract composition built from layered planes of muted color and finely worked surface texture. Broad fields of pale blue, warm brown, cream, and deep green are arranged in a balanced geometric structure, while delicate incised lines and subtle tonal shifts animate the surface.

The title, referring to sandy or arid terrain, suggests a landscape reduced to essential elements—horizon, ground, and boundary—rather than a literal place. Bozon’s use of etching and aquatint allows the image to retain a strong material presence, with textures that feel weathered and tactile. The result is a restrained, contemplative work that bridges abstraction and landscape through process and atmosphere.
