Etching and aquatint

h: 28 w: 28 d: 1 (cms).

This etching and aquatint depicts a man searching across an unseen ocean beyond the print’s edge with the wind blowing into his face and through his hair. The image was inspired by a quote often attributed to André Gide: “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” I often revisit this line during times of personal change and upheaval, a reminder that in life new adventures often require the closure of old chapters and the daring to embrace the unknown.
