Memories of sitting on the Bixby Creek Bridge, watching the setting sun reflected in the ocean inspired Bixby Sunset. The warp-dominant structure in the four corners form a purple tunnel of clouds around the sun that combines with the haze of colors from the fine thread optical mixing to produce a dreamlike atmosphere.
