This one I put together in about 2 hours. It's loosely based on a drawing I did back in highschool which at that time was inspired by a dream I had. I recently heard a poem which brought it back to me. The poem was about a lamenting African man whose wife was taken away from him. In the poem he cries out to the ocean to bring her back to him. I decided to make it at dawn which like dusk to me feels like the magic hour. At the last minute I decided to make the watery horizon cloudy so that he's looking out into a misty dawn.
