Editor: This small watercolor, "Seascape" by Elena Prentice, feels so peaceful. It's just bands of blue. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The horizon line, though simple, signifies a boundary, doesn't it? A point of transition between the known and the unknown. Think of the sea's cultural memory as a vast, watery subconscious. What emotions arise when you look at that line? Editor: A little anxiety, maybe? But mostly calm. Curator: Precisely. The anxiety is the tension between the familiar sky and the mysterious depths. These blues also echo the Virgin Mary, a calming, maternal figure. This work isn't just a seascape; it’s an emotional landscape. Editor: I never thought of it that way. Now I see so much more. Curator: Every image is a repository of symbols, waiting to be unlocked.
