Death By A Thousand Waves.

The cast-iron stands alone facing the sea, night and day, day and night. It faces the sun and the storm, the wind and the rain, the flood and the resurgence.

It’s resilience personified, and the willingness to drown daily, for the promise of tomorrow.

I love this statue.

Soulless and immortal, sculpted form and human at the same time, a metaphor

for so much – life, death, time

and the ability to withstand.

It gives me strength every time I see it.

And hope that,

should I drown,

I’ll resurface again tomorrow.
