Under The Great Wave of West Dorset
Taking reference from the famous Hokusai woodcut of 1832, this design takes an alternative look at the magnificent power and beauty of the ocean, against our iconic West Dorset coastline. The Great Wave can be viewed as symbolic reminder that pollution and climate change are ignored at our own peril and the oceans may still have the last word.
