This silkscreen print is based on a square print book of 1984. Here Bruna enlarged the blue plane, thereby underscoring the dangerous sea. The sailor’s desperation is clear to read from his face. ‘at first it was exciting the boat went up and down but as the waves grew wilder still dan's smile became a frown.’
