This mural was inspired by the changing tides of the ocean which serve as a natural clock for the passage of time and the special and ancient connection between people and this body of water. We surf through the ups and downs of daily life but in the end can always come back and reconnect with nature by just stepping into the water and maybe even literally surfing a nice wave.
