Melinda Craik, Archway Islands (SEASCAPE 2026)

At first light, the Archway Islands stand offshore at Wharariki Beach, shaped slowly by wind and tide. The scene reflects the quiet rhythm of coastal erosion and the enduring presence of landforms sculpted over time. The image invites a moment of stillness, where movement and permanence coexist.
