Pastel Drawings of Maldives by Zaria Forman
Artist Zaria Forman spent September 2013 in the beautiful Maldives, the lowest and flattest country in the world. She found inspiration there to create a new body of work that would shed light on a nation that could be entirely underwater within this century.
Each of her drawings, created with soft pastels on paper, are breathtaking in that they have a photorealistic quality to them. Forman has the ability to not only capture the different blue and green shades of the water but also the rising white crests of the ocean's waves.
