Oceanscape

Maimoona Altaf, 2T2 WB

Medium: Repurposed furniture with epoxy resin depicting two contrasting perspectives of the classic oceanscape scene.

Artist’s Statement: The first piece creates a familiar sense of tranquility and peace that we often experience walking past a beach as the waves crash against the soft sand, or the crisp breeze emerges through those waves to overwhelm our senses.

The second piece depicts a more unsettling view of the ocean, with an unsuspecting swimmer scarcely escaping a shiver of sharks. This highlights the mysterious and ominous nature of the ocean, with it being vastly unknown and unexplored.

This duality is a testament to human nature, our ability to accept experiences with nuance and resilience despite uncertainty.
