To the Reef Edge
At one with the sea.
The gaze glides from bright turquoise through muted sage green to deep blue-violet. This movement of color creates scent associations of salty water and the typical scent of the sea, right where the Reef Edge reaches almost to the water's surface. In the distance, the blue intensifies toward the reef drop-off, while the lighter areas in front create the impression of a warm, shallow, flowing underwater world.
Sunlight dances in bright reflections across the sand, illuminates coral heads, and glitters in tide pools.
The rough texture of mountain sheep's wool brings a darker, damp note into play, reminiscent of driftwood, moss, and lichens.
Cut-open pods open up like small underwater worlds, the sea glass inside bearing the traces of waves, sand, and time.

Un Jardin sous la Mer (Hermès)
“This garden lies just below the surface at the Reef Edge, where the water is warm and almost a little brackish, where I snorkel over the coral colonies with my stomach pulled in, already sensing the blue of the reef drop-off in the distance. Not a sound reaches me from the upper world, there is only the song of the underwater world in my ears, and the sunbeams dance their patterns on the sandy bottom.”
