Geometric Harmony: Brutalist Structures Amidst Nature's Silhouettes
				 Bathed in the monochromatic tones of dawn, the artwork captures a striking fusion of Constructivism and Brutalism at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. The composition plays with bold geometric shapes and architecturally stark structures, juxtaposed against the soft, organic forms of the natural world. A sun, large and low on the horizon, casts a gentle light over the scene, highlighting the sharp angles of the buildings and the delicate curves of reeds and water below. In the foreground, elegant flamingos anchor the living world in this stylized landscape, their presence a testament to the refuge's ecological importance. The image is a testament not only to aesthetic balance but also to the delicate interplay between man-made and natural environments. Shadows and light dance across the canvas, creating a layered depth that invites the viewer to linger, ponder, and appreciate the unexpected harmony between the rigorous lines of brutalist design and the chaotic beauty of wildlife. *** About Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge: Located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, this refuge is a critical sanctuary for over 400 bird species, and a vital habitat for many endangered animals.
