Unicornus Maris
“I appear when you are standing on the shore of your life.
When you need clarity to show the way forward.
Taking form from the vastness and power of the ocean.
I carry the momentum of the incoming tide.
I offer the awareness of timing.
I am here now, however, I started this journey
to come to be with you, years ago.”
~ Kim McElroy
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
You are a witness to the incarnation of the rare sea unicorn. This occurs once every few thousand years, when the sea, which is normally mutable and formless, chooses to become embodied. On the horizon, there appears a series of waves that have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean. Within each swell of the incoming waves, consciousness begins to swirl and coalesce, rise, and subside. When one of the mighty waves reaches its crescendo, the majestic sea unicorn lands upon the beach, amidst the crashing roar of the waters that gave it birth. As its new hooves touch the sand, a wild whinny erupts from the graceful throat, and it gallops off, disappearing into the shadowy dense trees of the dense rain forest. Like an echo of the first amoeba which evolved to crawl upon the land, the sea unicorn begins its terrestrial life.
