In "Crossroads," Glen Wilbert photographs a lone surfer walking across a wide beach carrying a board, shot from above so the figure sits small in the frame while overlapping tire tracks curve across the sand around him, with a hazy line of palm trees along the horizon.
The image is rendered in black and white, the pale sand and misty background nearly bleaching out while the dark tire ruts and the surfer's silhouette hold the eye. Glen shot from a high vantage that flattens the beach into a soft gray field, so the crossing arcs of tire tracks read as a network of curved lines drawn across it. The surfer, small and dark near the center, sits exactly at the intersection of several tracks, a single moving figure caught among the traces of everything that has already passed.
The scene is an early-morning moment on the Southern California coast, the beach still foggy and marked by the passes of overnight patrol and cleaning vehicles. It fits directly into Glen's ongoing California surf and coastal work.
In black and white, the composition is built on pattern and gesture: sweeping curved tracks across pale sand and a single figure crossing them.
