The Silent Sea draws on the visual language of Das Eismeer, the iconic Romantic painting of broken ice and sublime desolation. Here, that painted vision is reimagined as a sculptural relic: a frozen landscape enclosed in epoxy, whose sharp forms seem to hover in silence. At once fragile and monumental, the work transforms a scene of collapse into an artefact of stillness - a preserved horizon, removed from time yet charged with memory.
