A
NARROW
MUDDY PATH
SQUEEZED BETWEEN
BUNGALOWS LEADS TO THE
ESTUARY, WHICH LEADS TO THE SEA
THE ESTUARY
WIGGLES
ITS
WAY
THROUGH THE
GRASSES
CARVING UP
THE LANDSCAPE.
EVERYTHING RIPPLES
SHUTTERED CONCRETE PATHS RUN AROUND THE COAST, A LAST STAND AGAINST THE WATER FORCING ITSELF ON LAND. PATHS STARK IN THEIR SOLIDITY, DIVIDE CRUMBLING CHALK AND WAVE, MARSH LAND AND THE CONSTANT RE-ARRANGING OF PEBBLES.
THE SEA IS ALWAYS NIBBLING AT US
AT THE EDGE, STEPS DISSOLVE INTO THE WATER.
WAVES BREAK INTO EVER SMALLER WAVES CAPPED WITH FOAM FIZZLING OUT ON THE SAND.
THE TIDELINES ARE MARKED BY SEAWEED PUSHED ONTO LAND LIKE THE HOARDINGS OF THE COIN PUSHING MACHINES IN THE ARCADES NEAR BY.
THE SEA IS A PORTAL.
CALM OR CHOPPY, THE SURFACE OF THE SEA HYPNOTIZES US, A NEVER REPEATING ALGORITHM OF PATTERN, GIVING US A CATHARTIC SENCE OF FASCINATION, A NATURAL HIGH.
IN THE CITY WE CAN’T SEE PAST THE END OF THE STREET. FROM THE EDGE OF THE SHORE WE CAN STARE OUT AT THE END OF THE WORLD - THE HORIZON LINE. A HUMBLING SPACE AND SEEMINGLY ENDLESS NOTHINGNESS THAT REMINDS US OF THE EVERYTHING ELSE WE ARE CONNECTED TO.
