The Docks





Here are some better photos of my piece "The Docks", depicting....some docks. Imagine that. I think moreso than a literal picture of a dock, I wanted this piece to speak to the degradation of human influence and how nature eventually retakes what is left behind by us. The docks are the portion on the right of the piece, overgrown with algae and moss, waves lapping at their edge and birds lounging as if a rocky oasis in the ocean. The square represent human influence...the left behind objects that prove the place was once inhabited, once a port...but there abstraction and subtlety symbolize their forgotten use and repossession by the sea.
