About the piece: Nautical Embrace is a reflection on the vastness of the ocean and human fascination with it. The ocean has been a constant in my life due to my upbringing on Long Island and my annual family vacations to Cape Cod. This piece captures different images of human interaction with the ocean such as watching calm waves along the shore and a raging storm that threatens to throw someone off of a boat.
