As our ferry entered Victoria’s inner harbor, I noticed that people were fishing off the end of the breakwater. One of them stood out clearly against the sea, small in scale, yet as rigid as the light tower that looms over his head. The blue sky is filled with layers of soft horizontal clouds, contrasting to the precise alignment of the harsh, man-made concrete jetty. Ultimately, this vista symbolically expresses the role of mankind in the natural world – we may be small compared to the space around us, but our intrusion will leave a lasting footprint.
