I can only imagine how horrified you must have been at the time it happened, but when I look at what you have salvaged, the purity of your creativity and the beauty of your pen work it's arresting. I have loved calligraphy but never managed to conquer the kind of control and precision it takes to create such flowing works of art. Beautiful.

So sorry about what happened, I think the water damage doesn't look out of place though, it almost looks as though the water marks were intentional since the sea is the subject. I don't know how you write in that swirly pattern and make it look so amazing! Beautiful calligraphy and lovely arrangements!
