For This Artist, the Sea Is a Never-Ending Story

Kishan Munroe says the ocean in his blood. After all, he was born, grew up, and lives on The Bahamas, an archipelago surrounded by the sea. One school was right on the beach. “I’d walk to school and the wind would almost pick you up,” says the amiable and candid Munroe in a recent interview. “I could feel the water, I could taste the salt in it, I could hear it beat against the window of my classroom. I can’t remember any singular interaction with the ocean because that would be like asking, ‘What was the first thing you ever saw?’ The ocean was always there.”
