Borders of silence

At the edge of Terschelling, the Wadden Sea reveals its most introspective character. A lone breakwater extends into waters that mirror the weight of an overcast sky, creating a tonal symphony in graduated grays.

The textured surface of the sea holds light differently than the smooth expanse of tidal flats beyond, marking an invisible boundary between depth and shallowness, between what churns and what settles. A solitary figure stands at the convergence point, a human measure against the horizontal vastness.

Here, silence isn't empty but filled with the subtle language of wind on water, the whisper of shifting sediment, the patient rhythm of an ancient ecosystem. The borders between sea and land, present and absent, visible and obscured, all dissolve into this singular moment of coastal quietude.
