The poem is rendered in a distinctly loose handwriting style, printed with a thick layer of ink that contrasts the over-dyed grey silhouette. The poem is complemented by an equally unbalanced sketch underneath, depicting a human figure struggling against the ocean’s current. Shipwrecked on Strange Shores “LIFE IS, IN ITSELF AND FOREVER, SHIPWRECK. TO BE SHIPWRECKED IS NOT TO DROWN.

THIS MOVEMENT OF THE ARMS WHICH IS HIS REACTION AGAINST HIS OWN DESTRUCTION, IS CULTURE — A SWIMMING STROKE.” -Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1995)
