The second painting - Andante slows the music down as we explore what kind of treasures and cities does the sea hide. We start from the surface of the sea, with two boats bobbing on it and two suns shining like eyes. Bubbles like tears stretch from them to the seabed. They pass through an outstretched hand holding a boat with two purple sails. Behind the hand with the boat we see the seabed - a dark city with shining windows, boats, flying fish, sea stars. These are the secrets that the sea holds.
