VIDEO: Mural blends land and sea, defies world's highest tides

A Hawaiian muralist is using the rise and fall of the highest ocean tides in the world to create his latest work in Saint John, New Brunswick. "Is she emerging from the water," Mr Yoro told CTV News, "and when the tide's coming back up, is she drowning? What’s going on? I love that mystery of it all."



Each morning, "Hula" Yoro paddles to his studio -- a ten-foot-high wall in the Saint John harbour. There, he balances on his board and works on a massive painting of a woman, her hands and face just breaching the water's surface. The tide plays a key role in the artwork. Mr Yoro uses the varying sea levels to reach different areas of the painting. Artistically, the tide adds to the story.

Thanks to Agent 3 for letting us know about this. Interesting, EH!
