SARGAZO

For the Spanish sailors who dipped cautious fingers into its warm waters, the Sargasso Sea was a site of contradictions. Though surrounded by powerful currents, the sea’s water was as still as a mirror, almost trapped by some aquatic vise. Above, the promise of safety allured, but beneath the calm lay tangles of blood red sargassum, catching unwary ships in their net. Imagined in an incandescent dreamscape, Sargazo captures the dangerous siren’s call of an enigmatic ocean, charming and ensnaring those who seek to truly understand it.
