A Squid Called Sebastian wandered around with a notepad and a pencil from a very young age. First in faraway Massachusetts, later in Ghent. His work is suffused with melancholy and symbolism. This applies equally to this night-time scene. A male figure is looking longingly at the sea and some boats float in the bay. A metaphor for the transience of the fishing industry.
