The artwork represents a wave breaking against a cliff. A closer look reveals smaller waves, eddies and a large crest falling back on itself, blown by the wind. The rock has numerous caves and ravines, contorted and corroded by the power of the sea, the sun and the salt spray.
“The sea and the cliff” represents the eternal embrace between the sea and the earth, a relationship founded on love, passion and strength between forces that attract and repel each other.
Like the relationship between lovers, it is at times serene and at times stormy but always gives meaning to life.
