The man who held the sea 2017

"The Man Who Held the Sea" (2017) by Joshua Flint depicts a solitary figure in a kneeling pose against a hazy backdrop. The man’s outstretched arm, seemingly reaching out to grasp an unseen object, is rendered in a gestural style that evokes both power and vulnerability. The work's title suggests a profound connection between the individual and the vastness of the sea, prompting viewers to contemplate themes of human ambition and the power of nature.
