Low Tide

Twice a day, the sea retreats from the Frisian coast, leaving boats resting on the mud and wide stretches of sand in its place. In Low Tide, a single boat sits below a soft evening sky. The quiet scene captures the moment before the water returns.

The empty space is as important as the boat itself. It suggests that stillness is not the same as absence: a place can appear quiet while a new moment is already on its way. The changing coastline becomes a reminder that familiar places are always changing.

Displayed in a vacant shop unit, this painting invites visitors to look again at spaces they might otherwise walk past. What seems empty at first can still hold a story.
