The 8th Sea challenges the notion that water can be controlled and manipulated for human purposes. One example is the port of Hamburg, a site steeped in colonial history and exploitation of resources. The idea of The Seven Seas is also questioned, challenging the arbitrary boundaries imposed by humans on a vast and interconnected system.
This painting serves as a lens through which to understand the connections and complexities of our globalized world. The image provokes reflection and analysis of the interrelationships between land, people, and water.
