I’ve superimposed my drawings onto Abraham Willaerts’ painting, Stormy Sea on Photoshop, because I thought the lack of containers would be interesting, and a scenery of the ocean overthrowing boats with malevolent structures suggests the unknown mass of the tentacles, hidden beneath the sea as horrific. The ocean, tentacles, boats all have psychoanalytic meaning. The structure reminds me of the antagonist from the fictional TV series, Stranger Things. So I can see why Rupi used the word Supernatural to describe the works.

I see the sea and the atmosphere of the scene depicted in the painting as a metaphor for emotions. The glass bottles in previous drawings remind me of the saying, bottling one’s emotions up.
