Sea and shoreline Symbolism

In art, the sea and its shoreline often mark a threshold—the place where journeys begin or end and identities shift. Artists use tides, surf, and the horizon to evoke cyclical time, impermanence, and passage between realms. Across art history, this littoral edge functions as a liminal space between safety and risk, the known and the unknown.
