About

The fixation with the ocean, with water, is one that connects all people. Water is essential to living things, and we like being near the water. The sense of overwhelming calm that can come in being in and around the presence of the ocean is what continues to draw me back. Despite the calm that it is able to bring, the ocean itself is not always such a place. It is one of turbulent tides, patches of stormy weather and sickness. In many ways the ocean is not unlike a person. It lives and breaths and if it does not maintain its delicate ecosystem it will die. Yet, as all things, the ocean persists.
