“At sea there is no advocacy. We are free from that most noisome form of falsehood, which corrupts the very inward of the soul. Truth is one of the great gifts of the sea. You cannot persuade yourself nor listen to the persuasion of another that the wind is not blowing when it is, or that a cabin with half a foot of water in it is dry, or that a dragging anchor holds. Everywhere the sea is a teacher of truth. I am not sure that the best thing I find in sailing is not this salt of reality.”
— Hilaire Belloc, 1925
Holstentorhalle, Backsteinexpressionismus (Brick Expressionism) in Lübeck, Germany.
Design (ca. 1920): Friedrich Wilhelm Virck
I took an image of graffiti painted inside a culvert and used the colors to re-create the meanings of the tags. I don't know if the original words or symbols spoke of violence or vulgarity, but by restructuring the elements used by the original artists, my intent here is turn their hurt into heart.

Peacock Beauty
An Abstract Expressionism painting of an Peacock bird beauty in the flowers. Where cobalt green, lavender, grey, yellow, pink-orange, black is applied in forceful, rapid, and impulsive brush strokes. The paints are splashed, poured and flung directly onto the canvas in a dynamic and uncontrolled manner. Jackson Pollock painting style.
Inspired by my friend Thorunn/Tota on DDG bot.
