The Land Is Soft

Ethan explores the fear and power of water. Conveying personal perspectives and experiences with thalassophobia. Ethan demonstrates the feelings of being dragged and pulled down through symbolic figurative studies. The ideas are explored through photography, drawing and painting.

In my art, I dive into the mysterious realm of water, wrestling with the complex mix of fear and awe it stirs within me. Through my own eyes, I navigate the depths of thalassophobia, weaving my personal stories and reflections into this primal fear. Using photography, drawing, and painting, I bring to life a story that speaks directly to the heart.

Each stroke of my brush and every snapshot I capture serves as a window into my inner world, vividly portraying the sensation of being pulled beneath the surface by invisible forces. My symbolic studies go beyond simple imagery, revealing the emotional landscapes of the human mind.

Through my exploration, I challenge you to confront your own fears, anxieties and confront the raw power of nature, offering a deeper insight into the complexities of human emotion and the eternal allure of the untamed sea.
