In this drawing, Kathryn rests on her surfboard in a quiet moment just before a broken wave arrives. She sits in a space between calm and anticipation, where her body and the ocean briefly fall into sync. Inspired by the stillness in Michael Zavros’ Bad Dad, Edward gives this moment a more uplifting tone—her posture and expression suggesting renewal rather than solitude. Kathryn is drawn with precise realism, while the surrounding water is handled more loosely, with broken, expressive marks that echo the shifting energy of the tide. This contrast pulls the viewer into the rhythm of the sea, capturing the ocean not just as a backdrop but as a force that grounds, energises, and transforms the moment.
