Description
Fishing for the moon, nostalgia for the old resort, a paradox — who casts a line into a sea where everything has already been named? A blue nude woman sits on the last of a line of wooden groynes driven into the sea mist and holds a fishing rod; in the water to the left, like a caught fish, floats a large white moon; an eclipsed sun hangs in the upper right corner.
