Harding captures the sensory overlap between pounding surf and galloping hooves, a feeling familiar to anyone who has stood at the edge of a wild sea. Using ink and colored pencil, she pulls these winged unicorns from the froth of the waves, rendering their forms with the precision of zentangle-inspired patterns. The composition bridges the gap between the natural world and a private interior landscape, where the ocean is not just water but a birthplace for the extraordinary.

The work relies on intricate linework to define the unicorn’s silhouette against the symbolic presence of the sun and moon. By focusing on monochromatic textures, Harding emphasizes a sense of divine purity while maintaining a mystical nature ambiance. It is a study of how the imagination can populate a familiar horizon with magical possibilities, turning the sound of the tide into a glimpse of a hidden realm.
