Oceanus, The guardians of the shore
A mural painting consisting of mythical creatures emerging from the sea. Creatures that are neither human nor animal, but belong to an imaginary world where the boundaries between species and dimensions dissolve. The painting, painted directly on the wall in black and white, is connected to an ancient memory that lives in the space between dream and reality. The creatures rise from the sea as protectors and bring with them a message of peace, balance and unity. Their arrival signals a time of transformation, a response to a world characterized by uncertainty, conflict and environmental change.
