The sculpture was conceived as a solemn monument to Fern Blodgett Sunde and the sacrifices of those who served during the Battle of the Atlantic, one of the longest and most perilous campaigns of the Second World War. Drawing inspiration from maritime forms and the resilience of those who crossed treacherous waters, the artist shaped the work to evoke both the isolation of the open sea and the quiet courage of those who endured it. Fern Blodgett Sunde, recognized as the first female wireless operator in the British Merchant Navy, symbolizes the often-overlooked contributions of women in wartime service. Through carefully chosen materials and fluid, wave-like contours, the sculpture captures the tension between vulnerability and strength, serving as a lasting tribute to her legacy and to all who played a role in securing vital supply routes across the Atlantic.
