Through the fog, I see the sea. What I see by the sea comes from somewhere inside of me. Shapes merge into shapes and become new things to me. They are open to interpretation. Through the fog, I see things in the sea and a big boat on top. There is a figure with a hat and a sea anemone tree. Through the fog, I see the sea.
The fog is that which makes us see things the way we do. We see them and they stay with us. They become part of us. They shape us and shape the shapes we see. Think of the dried, black sea bamboo kelp on the beach. They change and become something as they decay. I see black shapes filled with possibilities against the white of the sand. They lie there like shadows. Like shadow puppets telling stories.
