#1 Death colors, shapes, illuminates, consumes, elevates, and inspires us. But in many advanced Western cultures, we are losing our connection with death. We’re pushing it away as an unwanted side effect of being human.

#2 I was exposed to a lot of death at a young age, most of which was ocean-related. I could sense when someone shouldn’t be going into the water, and I would tell them.

#3 The ocean is a very dangerous place, and it takes lives every day. But for most people who are connected to the sea, there is a respect for the ocean that goes beyond just the danger of the water.

#4 Death is a constant presence in my life. I have always known that someone is dead, whether they are or not. I have experienced the absence of a father, and that has shaped my view of death.
