Sand and sea, the colors of life, of everything. The sand is the product of the life in the sea, and the sea finds its rest in the billows and hollows of the sand. Their colors compliment each other like beloved friends at a ceremonial toast. They are the best set. The tan suit in the closet seems to spring to life when paired with that variegated blue shirt. Let’s place this blue rug under this tan sofa and see if it reminds you of something. Yes, it’s the beach, and the holiday, but also something more vestigial; it’s the place we all come from, where everything comes from.

That tension on the waterline, that connection of blue to white, is the crucible we all crawled out of.

There is a certain feeling these colors create together that they fail to create alone. Perhaps they gratuitously provide that lesson to us, about ourselves and our bonds with each other, a lesson that transcends their aesthetic splendor. Or, perhaps not – transcendence may not be for everyone, so let the resplendent visual joy be enough for those that seek only beauty. Like those transcendent souls, the sand and sea await them too..
