A collage of iridescent materials that forms an abstract landscape

A few bold elements form this collage which is laid out in a horizontal rectangle. The lower two thirds is filled with a photograph of calmly rippling waves that recede upward into the distance. Sitting just atop this, a narrow white band is patterned with black polka dots. The band’s upper edge is bordered in black and undulates slightly, mimicking distant rolling hills. In the upper third, a brilliant light blue iridescent material reflects light in long horizontal waves that arc up and outward from the center.
