What it shows: Gulf of Mexico name change sparks map divide
The scene as painted: A dimly lit, rainy evening scene at a US coastal dock, with a few small fishing boats and a large cargo ship in the background, its cargo cranes and containers silhouetted against the grey sky. In the foreground, a lone figure in plain, unmarked clothing stands at the dock's edge, looking out at the water with a tablet in hand, the screen's glow reflected on their face. The palette is muted, with blues and greys dominating the scene.
