The color palette is filtered through salt air: Espelette peppers drying on stone, raw linen, foot-worn planks, and the crimson stripes of a beach cabana.
Chroma II was photographed by Romain Laprade on the Côte des Basques, the stretch of Atlantic coastline where the western Pyrenees meet the sea. The light there is heavy and direct, filtered through salt air and the grey of old stone. It is also one of Europe's oldest weaving regions. Basque linen, with its bold stripes of indigo and red against raw cloth, has been produced in the surrounding foothills for centuries. Chroma II's palette sits quietly in that landscape, its saturated bands of colour at home against the same landscape that first produced them.
