In this portrait-oriented painting, Costa utilizes the inherent unpredictability of watercolor to mirror the wildness of a secret terrain. The medium flows across the surface in layers of varying transparency, creating a sense of depth that feels both subterranean and atmospheric. Rather than rendering a literal horizon, the artist relies on an expressionist vocabulary of drips and washes to suggest the tactile memory of a landscape.

There is a deliberate tension between the delicate nature of the paint and the raw energy of the abstract forms. Darker saturations anchor the composition, while lighter, watery passages allow the eye to move through the space like wind through undergrowth. By stripping away specific landmarks, the work invites a personal interpretation of the wilderness, focusing instead on the emotional resonance of color and organic movement.
