this is a pen and ink drawing of a small island in the sea. the island is covered in trees and shrubs, and there is a small lighthouse at the top. there are boats in the water around the island, and clouds in the sky. the drawing is done in a whimsical style, and the island appears to be floating away on the water. the artist has written some text around the drawing that explains the meaning of the image. the words on the right are: “islands are nomadic, on the verge of floating away.” the words on the left are: “island comes from “isola” in italian, soddes isolation.” and “there is a phantasm to islands, to starting over, away from everything.” the artist is suggesting that islands are nomadic and they can float away. the artist is also suggesting that islands are a place to start over and escape from everything. the artist is using the island as a metaphor for a place of peace and tranquility.
