A boat's solitude

/ sea, thoughts

Liminal existence

The boat rests—a singular presence suspended between fragmented realities. Its wooden frame, weathered and muted in green and grey, anchors itself to a landscape that fractures and reassembles like disjointed memories. The surrounding panels, a mosaic of weathered whites and industrial greys, create a cartography of isolation, each fragment a testament to the quiet disintegration of connection.

Moored at the intersection of stillness and potential movement, the boat embodies a liminal existence. Its solitude is not merely physical—a vessel alone on the water—but a profound existential state. The mountains in the distance rise like half-remembered thoughts, their layered silhouettes blurring into a pale horizon where a distant sun hangs, weightless and detached. Reflections ripple beneath the boat, not as a mirror of reality, but as a fragmented echo of an internal landscape.

The sporadic touches of chartreuse—those vibrant green squares interrupting the muted palette—suggest fragments of hope or memory, momentary interruptions in the vast terrain of solitude. They are like fleeting thoughts that briefly puncture the overwhelming sense of disconnection, only to be subsumed again by the grey-white expanse.

Here, solitude is not absence, but a profound state of waiting. The boat does not strain against its mooring; it accepts. It exists in a moment suspended between departure and arrival, between remembrance and forgetting. The surrounding geometric panels—fractured, imperfect—mirror the internal topology of isolation: structured yet fundamentally fragmented, held together by tenuous connections that might, at any moment, dissolve.

The water reflects not just the landscape, but the very essence of loneliness—smooth, unbroken, yet containing depths that remain perpetually untraversed. Each ripple is a whisper of potential movement, of stories untold, of journeys anticipated but never commenced.
