Meaning

Artwork story

A sailing ship fades into grey fog. It seems to be heading somewhere new.

People often move to another place or change their circumstances, believing that a new place or new people around them will change their life. Sometimes it does. But you cannot sail away from yourself.

So this painting asks a quieter question: how can I change myself, rather than everyone and everything around me?

Sold

Not all sails lead away...

An illusion of leaving, change, movement, but you cannot escape yourself.

Fog, solitude, memory, uncertainty, tiredness, waiting, disappearance.
