A heavily corroded metal barrier dominates the left foreground with thick layers of flaking, vibrant orange and deep brown rust. Its rigid, decaying vertical panels contrast with a smooth, black industrial bumper attached at the bottom edge. To the right, the dark blue water fills the background, textured by soft, rhythmic ripples that reflect the ambient light. The composition emphasizes the tactile difference between the jagged, oxidized metal and the fluid, undulating surface of the sea.
