The 8th Sea challenges the notion that water can be controlled and manipulated for human purposes. One example is the port of Hamburg, a site steeped in colonial history and exploitation of resources. The idea of The Seven Seas is also questioned, challenging the arbitrary boundaries imposed by humans on a vast and interconnected system.

This painting serves as a lens through which to understand the connections and complexities of our globalized world. The image provokes reflection and analysis of the interrelationships between land, people, and water.

Shaharee Vyaas is a polyvalent cryptomathician. As such he likes to hover above the demarcation zone between Science, Art, and Religion. Where most philosophers perceive the language as the limit of our knowledge, the cryptomathic method crosses the language barriers and stipulates that the unspeakable can be expressed in paintings, music or mathematical equations.

    1. Thank you for coming by and for reminding me that I made a whole series of paintings that basically argues that being human equals being water. Lately my posting has been a little bit in a slump since I had nothing to share and your comment reignited it by turning my attention to some aspects of my work that I didn’t share yet on this blog. Thanks again.

      2. I will label it properly. Somehow I kind of thought that it was self-evident, but that’s of course not taking into account the users who’re accidentally stumble upon one of my posts while browsing the internet with their own focus.
