Interpretation: In this artwork, the sea becomes a metaphor for collective memory, a place where waves carry our stories away and bring them back again. The crimson sky speaks of inner turmoil and desire, while the two dark figures symbolize the generational bond between past and future. It feels as though a father and child are walking on the edge of time: one releasing memories, the other receiving them. Their reflection on the water reminds us that life, love, and remembrance move in endless cycles, always returning, always changing.
