This is a photograph of a conceptual art project proposal. The image includes two sections: the upper section shows earth or mud with the words "MUD FLAT" inscribed in it, while the lower section includes a black-and-white aerial map with "LOCATION" marked in red. The proposed project is for the Western United States and involves a 2000-feet-long excavation using earth materials. The blue hue of the upper portion contrasts with the monochromatic map below. The text at the bottom provides details about the dimensions and materials of the proposed work.
