This piece grew out of a deep remembering — of standing at the edge of the known world, waiting not with fear, but with certainty.
The buoy and the painting together tell the story of a pirate — not the caricature of a thief, but the soul of an adventurer, a guardian of unseen treasures, a sailor of inner and outer seas. The buoy, shaped by the tides and winds, holds the spirit of endurance and arrival.
The painting captures the moment of recognition: the ship on the horizon, the long-called dream finally taking form.

In every brushstroke, there’s a prayer to the horizon: a call to meet destiny halfway, to walk the beach with steady feet while the sails fill and the future approaches.

This is not a story of waiting. It is a story of claiming.
