Hung 10 September 2026, same walnut as Harbour Knit, tenth hook, landscape so the water and the sky both stay in the picture. Deep navy, aqua in the lights, flame-gold along the deck — Solene’s water and Veyra’s fire, both honoured, neither copied. Craft on the roof for when M1 needs a friend in the air. The island is a city of its own. The wake is polite because the levitation is doing half the work. Not Charcoal unto Ocean. That ship answers to Kaia. Accession MG.2026.010. The Works page holds the plate. This is the underway.
