By the Sea is a deeply sensual and otherworldly exploration of fluidity, pleasure, and identity, set in the mysterious depths of the ocean. Rendered mainly in silvers, grays, and blues, the composition evokes a dreamlike, weightless realm where boundaries—both physical and societal—dissolve.
At the center of the work is a vast sea creature that extends across most of the composition. This being embodies both male and female attributes, rejecting rigid definitions of gender. It has a single set of eyes yet possesses two faces, positioned at opposite sides of its form. Without the need to define itself, it simply exists—fully immersed in the experience of pleasure and connection.
Surrounding the central figure are a variety of alien-like sea creatures, some adorned with tentacle-like appendages reminiscent of octopi. These beings are intertwined with the main creature in a complex web of sensuality, reaching toward it with blue arms and tongues in a fluid, unrestrained expression of desire. Their interactions explore different forms of sexuality, including fetishes, portraying a world where intimacy is natural, uninhibited, and free from judgment.
Despite the intensity of these entanglements, the central figure remains calm, gazing through a crystal ball held in its hands. It observes the world from a place of acceptance, neither choosing nor rejecting a gender or sexual identity—it simply is. Around it, some sea creatures have defined genders while others do not, yet all coexist in harmony, illustrating a universe where diversity is embraced without conflict.
By the Sea challenges conventional ideas of identity and desire, offering a vision of a world where fluidity reigns, pleasure is instinctual, and existence is celebrated in its purest, most liberated form.
