The Eleven Seas, divided into 11 watercolors, picture the sea that you swam in, the sea that Uranus’s blood dripped in, the sea that Aphrodite was born, the blue waters I swam inside them, the reeds on the beach, the Clouds we were looking at lying in the sand and felt like we were flying in between them, the sunset that filled the sky with its purple blue tones, the sea I’ll always recall, where Uranus and Gaia mated and gave birth to 6 sons and 6 daughters.
