Part of the Landscapes of Dreams series, this work utilizes a square frame to anchor a scene that feels both solid and dissolving. Broughton applies textures and digital brushwork over a photographic base, creating a weathered surface that mimics the grit of a wind-swept hill. The silhouetted trees provide a stark, rhythmic boundary against an atmospheric sky, grounding the viewer in a space that feels isolated yet deeply familiar.

The composition translates the specific sensation of a dream-state struggle—the cyclical effort of trying to reach a destination while being pushed back by a relentless gale. By layering the landscape with visual noise and soft-focus elements, Broughton emphasizes the friction between the human will and the natural world. It is a study of resistance and the quiet, lonely persistence required to navigate a world that refuses to remain still.
