I was inspired to make a piece based on the Roaring 40’s. The Roaring Forties are extremely powerful westerly winds that blow in the Southern Hemisphere between latitudes 40° and 50°. These gale-force, west-to east currents are the result of the combination of three variables: warm air movements, the Earth's rotation, and the near absence of relevant landmasses. The person in the boat represents courage and strength to go forth regardless of any of our worldly problems.
