About the artwork

Water has always played a very spiritual role in our existence as human beings. The beach has always been a place of solace for me, and anytime I have faced challenges away from my home town, all I longed for was having a moment at the shore of the beach, to let it all out. A reminder that I can always bring my problems to the ocean and they will be swept away.
