Two Seas

No. 29 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeTwo bodies of water side by side, one pale and fresh, one deep and salt, divided by a fine ornamental line, with fish in each and pearls and coral below.

What it meansFatir (35:12) says the two seas are not alike, one sweet and fresh, one salt and bitter, yet from each you eat fresh meat and bring out ornaments to wear; ar-Rahman (55:19-22) speaks of a barrier between them.

Where it worksBalanced and cool; suits a bathroom, a bedroom or a pair of facing walls.
