This series of drawings explores the complex dynamics between a small fishing town and the presence of a large military population stationed nearby. Through a combination of detailed seascapes, bustling harbors, and military infrastructure, the artwork delves into the contrast and coexistence of the different communities. The fishing town, with its rich traditions and close-knit families, is juxtaposed against the disciplined and transient nature of the military personnel. The series captures moments of intersection — local businesses serving both residents and military members—highlighting both harmony and tension. Themes of cultural exchange, economic dependence, and the impact of the military on the town’s identity are woven throughout, reflecting how the presence of the military shapes the social and emotional landscape of the town over time.
