Boat Shadow Unique by Bertil Vallien, Kosta Boda. I make boats that sink. Sinking through memories and dreams. I make boats that do not need latitude, they navigate like glazed vessels towards the horizon of imagination. One container for Moses and one for the Viking chieftain. The traveler must trust the thin skin that is the only thing that separates her from the unknown. The boat has always fascinated me, for the beautiful shape and for what it means: escape, adventure, journey, birth and death. A symbol that belongs to our collective consciousness. We all have a respectful relationship with the boat. The fisherman in the archipelago does not chop up his tired boat for wood, When she can no longer bear it, she can rest in peace and slowly feed new boats. I understand that the roughest sailor with respect and reverence calls his life insurance and craft the Hon. A life-giving mother to trust when society is separated from the solid ground.?
