Out Back is drawn from one of those understated, almost meditative pockets of time, the kind that happens behind the building, not in front of it. In this piece, Jake Zuurbier captures the quiet ritual of stepping away: for a smoke, for a breath, for a moment. The scene unfolds somewhere behind a workplace, where bricks glow softly under moonlight and a crescent hangs like punctuation in the sky. Unexpected, but welcome.
The buildings aren’t dressed up; they don’t need to be. The calm here is earned, not constructed. It’s the hush that settles when the last trash bag is tossed and you pause, just briefly, and look up. There’s no performance, just a brush with something celestial, as stars stretch across the deep blue and remind you that even behind the back door, the universe still shows up.
Printed on museum-quality matte paper, Out Back invites the collector to honor the quiet moments we don’t usually frame. It’s a still-life of the unnoticed, a study in mood, memory, and space. Perfect for interiors that value storytelling over spectacle.
